    imagine Claudio in a small festival tent just playing with this for hours for 'partygoers' to relax too -- just one man, a clavinet and an echo machine!

    Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" is to the clavinet the same as Van Halen's "Jump" is to analog synthesizers... the first song you play on the keyboard :-D

    The Hohner Clavinet D6, just like the Hammond B3 are by any standard the most awesome instruments ever created.

    • @Firing_Order
      @Firing_Order 4 роки тому +8

      Funny story about the B-3. The spinet version, the M-3, is actually *mechanically* superior. There are two kinds of tonewheels- complex gears and simple ones. The B-3 and A-100 both have simple sinusoidal gears in the bass pedals while the M-series actually has complex gears in the pedal tones and bass notes. I know a few Hammond techs who frequently use Spinets instead of consoles to test leslie speakers. Even Tom Sholtz of Boston fame swears by his M-3s because there is no console that has quite as much growl in the low end as a spinet. That being said, not every drawbar folds back in the upper registers and it doesnt come with a leslie jack, but plenty of people say the former isn't a mod worth doing, and the latter is a mod that people have been doing for YEARS.
      M-3 > B-3

    • @jay_tesst
      @jay_tesst 3 роки тому +1

      @Laurence Santos IMO the mellotron is of course a cool piece of machinery. Being aided by the fact that it's been featured in Strawberry Fields, Space Oddity and Gangsta's paradise. However, its uses are fairly limited because of the very nature of the machine. I would say the Clavinet and The Hammond B3 /
      M3 are far more versatile, especially across a lot of musical genres.

    How many TV stations feature a man exploring his musical instrument?
    None! It's one of the many things that makes The Doctor Mix Show so special!
    The Clavinet is one of my favourite instruments.
    However, it's so underrated that most people don't even know of its existence. Unless we're talking about Superstition...
    Can you name me another track with Clavinet?
    Musicians probably could, but the layperson doesn't realize how subtly mixed the Clavinet was in some of the most popular disco hits.
    I'm talking about tracks like Boogie Oogie Oogie - A Taste of Honey.
    Even George Benson had Clavinet on his album Breezin' (listen to the song called "Lady").
    Anyway, I've heard things tonight that I never imagined possible on the Clavinet. Thank you for that!

    If you check back on George Duke, he mod'd his Clavi to have 'string bend'. Think that goes back to his time with Zappa's band, before his own solo career took off.

    @paulluna8099 4 роки тому

    Claudio you got one of the transitional D6/E7 models. In other words D6 with E7 case and stylings, One of the most common issues is the hammer tips were made with a polymer that degrades as it ages. So you will have to go to Clavinet to get it repaired or if you have a huge budget modify the hammer tips to something more permanent.

    I still can't believe that I passed up on one of these. In my defense, it didn't have an output for me to hear it properly through an amp so I was listening to it from just its quiet acoustic without amplification. I should have still bought it as it was very cheap

I would like to know what is the last effects pedal you used (that you used 3 years ago in the video hehehehehe) that you say you normally use with the Fender Rhodes. In fact I would like to know which pedals you would recommend to get a vintage effect to the sound of the Fender Rhodes and hammond organ and if you have already tried the pedals with amp and speaker modelling (IR). Thanks for your videos, your energy and your musical background, you make my soul happy and inspire me to practice and enjoy my keyboard more.

    Yeah, this poor clavi is pretty sick. I wish I had some insight but the most mechanical keyboard instruments I feel completely comfortable inside are Hammond tonewheelers. I stay out of rhodes and wurlies for similar reasons; There's just WAY too much that can go wrong. What I can say is that the pop sound of the "hammer off" setting that you described means its probably going to need to be re-felted at least. That will help eliminate the clack.
    But hey, I'd. Be willing to take a stab at it for the price of shipping and a crisp high five though hahahaha.
