 Hohner Clavinet: Harmony Central User Reviews
This is actually good because the clavinet is touch sensitive in that the harder you play each key, the louder and more colored the sound is for that note.
To apply the electric guitar analogy further, the clavinet appears to be like a huge fretless metal guitar neck in a box with huge active pickups.

The Clavinet has two pickups, which are positioned like, and function as, the two pickups on a guitar that guitarists call the treble and the rhythm pickup.
First of all, the apparent sustain of a held note on the Clavinet depends on both the compression effect of overdriven preamp and power amp tubes and on the feedback from the amp.
Now you can do tricks, such as playing the E during a solo, letting it slowly change to the B, and then continuing your solo on a different range of the keyboard as if the B were the last note you hit.

 Hohner Clavinet
The first Clavinet was followed by the strange, triangular, three-legged period piece (complete with '60s-style reverse-color keys) called the Clavinet L. But the D6 - with its distinctive light-wood casing, flip-top lid, and screw-in legs - was the big hit.

The Clavinet does inspire, if not require, a particular playing style that is heavy on syncopation and feel and light on individual note articulation.

And there are new sounds available too, including the only digital Clavinet D6 sound set to be endorsed by www.clavinet.com.
I guess the first thing to say about the new electric pianos is that they really don't seem to sound much different than they did (of course, I haven't had a chance to directly A/B them) as much as they seem to feel very much better.
The bottom line is that this Clavinet is more realistic than I dreamed a digital instrument could ever be.

The Clavinet D 6 keyboard range of 5 octaves (F1-e3) is suitable for a big proportion of piano music, beginning with lute and organ music of the 14th century, covering all Baroque piano music up to the Classical period.

HOHNER CLAVINET D6 Whatever your age or musical background, think of a Clavinet and your first thought will almost undoubtedly be the track "Superstition' by Stevie Wonder and indeed, there is possibly no finer or more famous example of the Clavinet at work.
His first design was the Cembalet in the 1950's but, after several revisions, this was to develop into the Hohner Clavinet D6, the instrument we know and love today.
The sound was created by striking strings with hard rubber 'tangents' (hammers) - the strings' vibrations were then converted to electrical signals using electro-magnetic pickups not unlike those found on electric guitars.

The mighty Hammond organ, Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, and Hohner Clavinet were large, heavy, bulky, and often in need of maintenance.
The Clavia Nord Electro is a virtual electromechanical instrument that simulates a Hammond B-3 organ, a Hohner Clavinet, Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, and a Yamaha CP80 portable piano.
The piano section is straightforward and features a button that switches between the Rhodes Mark II Stage Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, Clavinet D6, Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand, acoustic grand (Ac.Grand), and Option (for future use) multisample sets.

 Harmony Central®: Clavinet D6 Lives on with Scarbee's D6-C Sample Library
Scarbee was originally set to sample the later "road model" E7 because of it's better shielding and better condition, but after thorough testing against three different D6's, the company deemed the sound of the D6 to be much better.
The sound of the E7 lacked the aggressive and funk sound of the D6 - both due to a slightly different preamp - but also because of the aluminium case and general design, according to the company.
Each of the 60 keys of the Clavinet D6 have been sampled in 16 different sustained velocities - both the sustained and the release sound for a total of 1920 samples.

Melodien spilles på Clavinet VoiceBox (en Hohner Clavinet koblet til et munnstykke hvor man ved å forme munnen kan påvirke lyden, en slags primitiv vocoder) og string synth.
Clavinet er også et hovedinstrument i neste låt, Gettysburg, hvor vokalist Steve Gould og trommeslager Simon Phillips bemerker seg i positiv retning.
En kjapp instrumental, påny med Clavinet VoiceBox som soloinstrument, men selve komposisjonen blir for langdryg og lite utfordrende til tross for noen små, snedige rytmiske sprang.
