Clavinet |
Electrically amplified clavichord invented by Ernst Zacharias and manufactured by Hohner from the 1960s to the early 1980s. Pressing the keys causes small rubber pads to perform a 'hammer on' on the steel strings, the vibrations of which are transmitted by electro-magnetic pick-ups to an amplifier. The Clavinet can be heard in many major funk and R&B recordings, such as Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' and War's 'Low Rider'. |
