clavier
Harpsichord keyboard section
A clavier is a keyboard instrument—harpsichord, clavichord, or piano—or the keyboard itself.
The term appears mainly in musical contexts, especially discussions of Baroque music: Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
In contemporary usage, clavier sometimes refers to any keyboard, including those on synthesizers or computers.
