The drawing is of good quality, and if one is familiar with the basic construction of clavichords, provides enough information for a more-or-less faithful copy.
Note that this is a schematic, giving an interpretation of the original plan for the instrument, rather than presenting the instrument with all its flaws and signs of age.
Presently the Marc Vogel website gives the date for this clavichord as 1732. The consensus is now that the (faded) date on the instrument says 1752. This is also the date you get on the drawing.
Millimeters are used as a unit, rather than the historic local inch. String gauge numbers are also provided, as well as the wood types used for the various parts.
