Bass 2

The Bass 2 in a Hohner catalogue from April 1973:

Below is my translation of the text.  I'm not sure of the accuracy of the part about the spare fuse, though.

The upright bass in a carrier bag

A purely electronic musical instrument with transistor technology

The tone reproduction happens over suitable amplifying equipment.

The mains switch is combined with the smoothly adjustable volume control.

Elpiano

The entry for the Elpiano in a Hohner catalogue from April 1973:
