Pianet Mark 1

Here's a picture of a Pianet Mark 1 I downloaded from the internet a couple years ago.  If I remember aright, this was from an eBay auction, but when I clickt on the link, eBay couldn't find the listing.

Handel: Menuet in B flat major, HWV 551

 

From IMSLP

Manfred Mann's "Sticks and Stones" and "Hubble Bubble (Toil and Trouble)"

Recently, Reelin' in the Years uploaded a video in which Manfred Mann (the band) performs "Sticks and Stones" and "Hubble Bubble (Toil and Trouble)."  Manfred Mann (the man) is playing an early model Hohner Pianet:

The date is given simply as 1964, but a banner in the video says, "New Musical Express Poll Winners Concert," which, according to numerous internet sources, occurred on 26 April 1964.

I closely examined the woodgrain of the Pianet and discovered that it's the same instrument seen in this picture dated 10 August 1964:

This is the instrument that, if my analysis is correct, Mann had modified so that he could adjust the volume with a Vox pedal instead of the knee-control lever that the Pianet came with.
