I just bought a Hohner Cembalet I on eBay. You can see it
in "completed items" still I imagine. This seems like an incredibly
rare model - the Cembalet is the precursor to the Pianet but most
references on the Net are to the "N" model, I don't see anything that
looks like the one I bought. In fact the only reference to
a "Cembalet I" on the whole internet has a question mark after it!

Clavinets but none that show a tube preamp as this one has. It must
be VERY early production. Seems to have lived the bulk of its life as
it was originally intended - as a home instrument in Germany.
Unfortunately, it sustained some shipping damage which has me pretty
heavily bummed out. Any electric piano experts in Chicago? Beyond
that question... I don't know if this is remotely interesting to
anyone on this list, but just who else do you tell when you buy
something like this - the guys in your Fantasy Football league? (no, I
don't play fantasy football - just using that as an example).
