Best Answer

No, except they are both portable. the Viola is the tenor violin, geared down from the Soprano range of the traditional fiddle. The Clavichord is a keyboard instrument that is portable, and sounds something like a tinny steel guitar. a noble attempt was made to revive the Clavichord , and electrify it, also- in about l963 by one of the big German musical instrument houses. After all the Bass Guitar came up to date, right. unfortunately the Clavichord in modern dress did not catch on, let along twangl. They were built and indeed imported.
