"A clavinet is a keyboard instrument, manufactured by the Hohner company." Do there exist any other companies manufacturing this instument?144.139.85.146. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.139.85.146 (talk) 11:44, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Why not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.139.87.36 (talk) 11:44, 10 November 2005 (UTC)


 * No market. No company makes clavinets. If you want a clavinet, you'll have to find a used clavinet. - Nunh-huh 12:38, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Well other companies can't just go manufacturing Hohner's patent designs without a license. Virtually ever electronic keyboard ever made has a "clavinet" preset on it though LOL --feline1 15:45, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

It should be mentioned in the article itself that manufacture has been discontinued. Preferably by someone who could say when and possibly why. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.221.29.234 (talk) 09:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Should cost be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.203.251 (talk) 04:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

The patent law was designed to promote progress, and not regress. The Clavinet patent has clearly been abandoned, and it therefore belongs to noone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.190.2.241 (talk) 00:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

CLAVINET DP3
And what about this model ? Nothing in the article...

I find : 'The Clavinet DP1 & DP3 were digital pianos (Technics design) that were manufactured under licence by Hohner...'

Notable songs section
What is notable about these songs? (Are they notable songs? Is the clavinet notable in them?  Other?) RJFJR (talk) 03:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I've nuked this, replaced it with reliably-sourced prose, and left a not-very-subtle hint in a comment at the top of the section. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Wow, that was a lot of edits there in the history. You removed one that I had added. I added it back. Notable song, notable musicians, and the clavinet is the dominant instrument. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:25, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I've been meaning to clean up the article for some time, but had an attack of the WP:SQUIRRELs and did all of it in a day. I think the important point was to transform the section from an indiscriminate list to something that flowed better with prose. As for the Goodies, must have missed that, I thought I'd got all the ones that had a citation to a source, but must have missed that one. I'd like to see if we can name-check Herbie Hancock a bit more and flesh out the Clavinet's use in jazz fusion, but I don't have great source material to hand that does anything more than name-check albums and songs.

 * Thanks for all that work. I agree, it's way better as prose than a list. I wanted the Goodies entry in there because of Oddie's reference to Stevie Wonder, so it seemed to fit well after the paragraph about Stevie Wonder. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:41, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
