    The inventor of the Clavinet (Ernst Zacharias) is the granddad of a friend of mine. He's 90+, living here in Hamburg and still inventing stuff. Hopefully gonna meet him soon. I think the guy deserves a technical Grammy or whatever it's called - Funk&Soul music wouldn't have been the same without his instruments.

    Glad to see this product of my home town. There is a little chance my grandmother worked on it, since my whole family was working at Hohner at that time. Did you know that Ernst Zacharias was the inventor ? He is now close to 90 and working on a new organ concept in Hamburg. Cheers from Germany, Jörg

      It's extremely heavy, but it's worth every single pound of weight. Apart from the love you mention, it's got a metal frame where the strings and the two pick-ups are held. The rest of it is basically wood...

    Replacing the clavinet D6 is like somebody trying to replace a Fender Stratocaster with a sampler. The clav has real strings, real hammers and real pickups... what more can a keyboardist ask for? If it ain't broke don't fix it! Great vid! You have motivated me to pull mine out of the closet and get some new Hammer tips and strings and I will be back in biz! Peace, Bob

    One of the most underrated and under-appreciated instruments. Everyone has heard it (mostly thanks to Stevie) but in my experience pretty few have any idea what it is. In any case it makes me happy to see that you have one because you've got the chops to take full advantage of it! Enjoy!
