Do you mean Weltmeister Claviset, or Hohner Pianet?Kinx wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 12:37 amI actually sold mine about a month ago !

It was really clean for it's age, but I didn't find much use for it, since it had no touch dynamics. I really liked the first octave, reminded me of my rhodes mark II somewhat but the rest was too tinkery for me. I would rate it below old Hohner Clavisets, which was built similarly. They are becoming quite rare nowadays indeed.

As I mentioned before, the bass octave is cool, but the rest is too plunky and bell like. I also found the keyboard action way too hard for me to play - I am no keyboard player, but I can definitely play my other keyboard instruments with more subtle touch, I always had to hammer hard on the Klavifon I believe that this could be solved with some proper maintenance.
I have been interested in Weltmeister Claviset for a long time, despite some friends of mine discourage me from it. I don't have any room for it anyway, as I am currently beginning restoration project of Rhodes Mark II stage piano - I have already sorted out the hammer mechanics, but tonebars are rusty and about 50% of pickups needs rewinding - this will be a long winter
