À propos de cette annonce
Marketed by Klassic Keys GB (Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England)Made in Germany(1965), this unique and RARE instrument is the FIRST clavinet made. A single PP3 (9v) is all that is required to power the instrument, and the original solid-state amplifier drives an onboard speaker <> which works rather well, we note! A standard 1/4" jack socket has been fitted to enable external amplification and/or hook up to a mixer etcThis particular keyboard was sourced from Austria in 2025. Owner took great care of it, but KKGB have had it extensively serviced/repaired, as is our policy. Hohner clavinets require detailed attention and a great deal of patience to restore good performance. They are electro-mechanical instruments. The hammer tips need to be correctly aligned, and the strings, damping material and voicing/tuning really have to be "up to the job"......really not to be left to enthusiastic amateurs....... This Klassic Keys GB Clavinet One is now ready for studio/recording funky monkey music, after days of refurbishment/repair + new strings/new hammer tips/damping gel and more..... the keyboard action is amazing...really fast playing .Condition:- there are many eensy scrathes, abrasions & dinks, but considering that the instrument is 61 years old, all is forgiven. Keys are in terrific condition, with NO cracks. Hammer tips and strings are now bedded in, maybe fine tuning will be required after delivery (its easy to do). Electronics all work 100%. KKGB are throwing in an Akai phaser with FREE (mainland) door-to-door delivery, probably on a pallet.Sounds like? Clav 1 has less choice in tone selections; but there are still plenty of variations. No "mute/damper" mechanism is fitted ( not invented in 1965). New strings mean amazing bright tone, with terrific response from the (lubricated) keys. The issue of snapping strings has been dealt with; this will never happen again...and the new clavigel dampens all strings with aplomb. Having an onboard speaker system is really convenient (for instant doodling/inspiration)..all powered by a single PP3 9V battery! Weight is approx 45 Kgs dims are 120 x 43 x 15 cms. Sounds like? New KKGB demo-video is now attached. Its not a virtuoso showcase, but its whole point is to emphasise how good the actual tone and sustain of the instrument is. New strings, hammer tips, clavigel and key lubrication all contribute to achieve this high standard; as good as ANY clavinet model, for sure.Proper studios will always have THE BIG FOUR "de rigeur" instruments viz Wurlitzer EP200 (or 140B), a Rhodes Stage 54/73/88, a Hammond B3/C3 + Leslie...... and a Clavinet......though most of today's studios do not even have a drum kit. One large screen, sets of studio monitors, one vocal mic, one nameless "dumb" keyboard and a few guitars......everything else is sampled and tucked away inside some DAW. Its all wonderfully convenient, but (to me) just totally sterile and uninspiring.....thats progress? Lets have a jam, guys!?........guys?......hello?.....UK price is £4999.
