How a harpsichord jack works

This is a single note played by a virginal (a type of harpsichord) to demonstrate the mechanism for plucking and returning the jack to play the next note. For more information, visit virginalrestora...

whats a jack in the piano & also harpsichord?does a clavichord has one too?

[@ehuggan1]

Leomsone Frasionio In the video the white thing which rises and falls and has the plectrum and a red damper is the jack in the harpsichord. Clavichord has no jack. Piano jack pushes hammer toward string. Search on CZcams the following: Comparing "The Jack" - Grand Action Model VS Upright Action Model - Bill The Piano Tuner Tuner

What material is the damper made from, and also the jack?
