The Moody Blues' "Lose Your Money (But Don't Lose Your Mind)"

Last week, Denny Laine's Instagram account posted a video of the Moody Blues miming to "Lose Your Money (But Don't Lose Your Mind)" on Ready Steady Go! in 1964.

Mike Pinder appears to be playing a Hohner Pianet (years ago, I wrote about a slightly better quality picture of it), so the video seems to confirm a suspicion I had earlier this year after listening to the fiftieth anniversary edition of The Magnificent Moodies (for only the second time):  Pinder played Pianet on "Lose Your Money (But Don't Lose Your Mind)."  It's a bit buried in the mix, though.
