The harpsichord is unable to sustain sound like modern pianos because its strings are plucked rather than struck, resulting in a shorter and less resonant sound.

How is the sound created on the clavichord?

On the harpsichord the strings are plucked, while on the clavichord they are striked. Because of this, the harpsichord is unable to make sounds louder or softer, though they're usually much louder than the clavichords'. To this also helps the fact that harpsichords have a air chamber below the strings, which reverbates, amplifying the sound. On some harpsichords there is another manual (keyboard), positioned above the normal one, with another set of strings, which produces a slightly different sound from the lower manual. When combined they produce a richer sound.
