Sounds great! Thank you for posting. The Klaviphon and the Claviset were Eastern European copies of the Hohner Cembalet which came out a couple of years earlier. They sound similar to the Cembalet but not identical. The Hohner Cembalet was the best sounding, using higher quality reeds than the other instruments. The Klaviphon sounds similar to the Cembalet though a bit less complex. The rigidity and sustain of the reeds is a big factor, with more rigid instruments sounding more percussive and less complex. The Claviset sounded quite reminiscent of a kalimba, both using similar metal tongues as their sound sources.
I love this.... everything about it. What is the name of the song you played? I always enjoy discovering other electro-mechanical pianos other than the Wurlitzer and Rhodes, not there's anything wrong with either.

Sounds like Hohner Cembalet and Weltmeister Claviset.
