I've got a cheap Yamaha home keyboard here. Bought when my son thought he wanted to play keyboards. I just dialed up the clavinet sound on it. I can't play keyboards but sort of picked out some patterns. Didn't sound nearly as bad as I thought, in fact reasonably convincing. So I'm sure that modern "clavinet" on modern recordings could easily be high quality "simulations" if even a cheap plastic thing does a reasonable simulation.
But, I'm at risk of going off topic here. Before a moderator comes along and tells me off for wandering off-topic, I'll just mention that there's a free physically modelled VST plugin for clavinet here which includes damping. I haven't listened to it to see if it actually sounds good though.
