I built a Zuckermann harpsichord in 1973. My mom played it for 40 years. I still have it. Only had to replace 2 strings and 3 plectra in 49 years! Great instrument. Later I built a virginal and clavichord from Z kits. These kits allowed many people to build and enjoy playing these early instruments.
I’m not sure if Lawrence (guy in the video) speaks German, but I do and I nevertheless pronounce Zuckermann as Wally Zuckermann himself did-with an American accent.

It's always funny hearing non German speakers pronounce Zuckermann. The correct way is "Tsoo-ker-mann
