VClav 2.0 system presented in the paper enables user to interact with a digital 3D reconstruction of the historical clavichord in a manner similar to lifelike using Virtual Reality gloves to “play” music. The real clavichord was constructed by the famous maker in 18th century, Johann Adolph Hass from Hamburg, and is at the exposition in the Museum of Musical Instruments in Poznan, Poland (department of the National Museum). This is a system powered by the NeoAxis game engine and equipped with 5DT Data Glove 14 and Polhemus Patriot tracker. It is an exemplary solution for museums to actively present musical instruments.
