指十四至十六世紀初在文獻上記載的弦鍵盤樂器，現無確切文字記錄此樂器構造，不過有證據顯示，切可琴是一種古鋼翼琴，據說形似管樂器，卻以琴弦發聲。有關切可琴的最早相關文獻可追溯至西元1360年，當時英國愛德華三世約翰‧佩羅特(（Jehan Perrot）)製作的切可琴贈予法國國王約翰。十四世紀中葉起開始出現古鋼翼琴的相關文獻，而大鍵琴秦的文獻於西元1390年之後始出現，因此雖然現有的文獻記載仍不明確，不過人們認為「切可琴」指的是擊弦鍵盤樂器，而非撥弦鍵盤樂器。

String keyboard instrument mentioned in 14th to early 16th century texts. No accurate description exists of its construction but evidence suggests that it was a type of clavichord. It is said to have looked like an organ, but sounded by strings.The earliest known reference to it is from 1360, when Edward III of England presented one made by Jehan Perrot to John of France. References to the clavichord begin to appear around the middle of the 14th century; and as the harpsichord appeared only after 1390, it is assumed that use of the term 'chekker' indicated a struck string, rather than plucked string keyboard instrument, though documentation remains unclear.
