Made in Germany in the mid-1960s, this suitcase-style keyboard has the same sticky-pad “reed plucking” action as the classic Pianet N, but in a portable design with side handles and a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. It's warm, wiry, and slightly snarky – like a Wurly’s cheekier cousin.
It’s famously featured on tracks by The Zombies, Small Faces, and Roxy Music, delivering that bright attack and fast decay perfect for mod, garage, and psych rock tones. Unlike its later transistorised brethren, this one’s fully passive with a built-in preamp powered externally.
Specifications: * 61-note keyboard * Electro-mechanical reed-based sound generation * Passive electronics with external preamp * Wood and tolex suitcase body
