Clavi Twin '78

Clavi Twin ‘78 captures the heart & soul of a vintage run-down Hohner Clavinet Pianet Duo, complete with scuffs, stains, and over 40 years of hard use and abuse. This unique combo allowed keyboardists to blend the two instruments, or use the Pianet as a bass in the left hand while playing Clavi in the right. Since both sets of strings lived inside the enclosure, this funkmaster was heavy (over 75 lbs)! The Clavinet was designed in 1961 by German engineer Ernst Zacharias - he loved listening to Bach harpsichord music and created an amplified version for Hohner. Music legends like Stevie Wonder made the Clavinet an icon, embracing the electric guitar-like tones while running it through distortion, tape echo, and phaser pedals.
