Hohner Pianet (West Germany)
Plucked reeds, sticky pads; electrostatic pickups, later electromagnetic
Pianet L, Pianet C, Pianet N, Combo Pianet, Pianet M, Pianet T
1962 - 1982
Based on 1920s patent by Lloyd Loar, ex Gibson Guitars (see Vivi-Tone).
No sustain pedal.
May have been introduced as more touch-responsive successor to Cembalet.
N had tremolo; M had phaser and speakers. Models L, C, N and Combo Pianet used electrostatic pickups; reeds were plucked by leather and foam pads impregnated with a permanently sticky compound and these doubled as dampers when a key was released. It would appear, however that SOME Pianet Ns were fitted with the same plectrum and damper mechanisms used by the Cembalet (see below). This may have been a strategy to use leftover Cembalet parts when the Pianet was introduced.
T and M were last of series; used electromagnetic pickups, silicone rubber sticky pads and more mellow-sounding reeds.
All except T had wood-veneered cases; L was simple rectangular case, no lid, mounted on metal rod legs, built-in speaker, no tremolo. N was classic 1960s electric piano with folding lid/music rack and "boomerang" inverted-V-shaped legs. Optional amplifier fitted underneath. C was similar to N but mounted on "coffee-table" legs. Combo Pianet was stage model without folding lid; no tremolo or speakers. M was domestic console model from 1970s with fabric-covered speakers above keyboard ends and flat-topped "piano-style" black keys.T had black leather-cloth covering and rubber-padded end-blocks. Early examples may also have been available in orange!
Vivi-Tone Clavier (USA)
Struck tone-bars; electromagnetic pickups
Clavier Late 1920s - early 1930s
Designed by Gibson Guitar's chief R&D engineer Lloyd Loar for his own short-lived Vivi-Tone company, which also produced electric guitars, basses, mandolins and fiddles. An earlier Loar design using sticky pads and electrostatic pickups was later adapted by Hohner for the Pianet.
Neo-Bechstein (Siemens-Bechstein) (Germany)
Struck strings; modified piano action;
electromagnetic pickups
Neo-Bechstein
1929
Designed by Prussian Nobel Laureate Professor Nernst, in conjunction with Bechstein and Siemens. An early electric grand. I don't know how many were made or who they were aimed at, but at least one survives in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany.

... Volledige Steinways staan er te verpauperen, zo ook Hammond orgels...

Na een tijdje zoeken heb ik nu dus ook een vintage electromechanische piano.
De Yamaha CP20.....
Dit ding klinkt echt te gek.......met ingebouwde tremelo, gewogen toetsen en heerlijke vintage sound.
