Almost forgot this one: Chick Corea was a endorser for the Pianet/Clavinet duo, during the late '70s! Never saw or heard him play anything but his Rhodes at the time, though I seem to recall a Keyboard mag Soundsheet of him demoing the instrument, circa '78/'79. Anyone else recall what I'm stating?

Lamm used a Pianet during the tour for the first CTA lp and it sat atop his M3. I witnessed this wayyyyyyy back in September of '67! YouTube also has a few videos from this period.
However, Dave Kaffinetti/Rare Bird was the foremost user of Pianets, on their first two albums. Again, check YouTube for the video of a live performance of Sympathy to see what it was all about. Additionally, check out the tune "Beautiful Scarlet" to hear the Pianet placed prominently, in the mix. (Warning: no sustain pedal was employed during these Pianet workouts!)
