Description

Technical description: T model. Compass 60 notes, F₁ - E₆. Sound is generated by metal lamellae which are plucked by rubber foam pads connected via metal rods to the keys so that, on pressing a key, the pad is released and makes the reed vibrate. Passive pickups consisting of a segmented vertical plate mounted orthogonal to and just beyond the ends of the reeds transmit the signal to an amplifier. Serial number: 792616. Lettered in gold on inside of keyboard lid "HOHNER" and "PIANET T". Decorative features: Case finished in black vinyl leathercloth. Playing accessories: with music stand: a simple wire bent into three sides of a rectangle.
