ULTRA RARE. ONLY 20 OF THESE WERE EVER MADE. ONLY 12 REMAINING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. OWN THE COOLEST AND FUNKIEST CLAVINET ON THE PLANET, bar none. Gorgeous COCOBOLO and MAHOGANY VENEER and BLACK TOLEX with the famous BUDDY CASTLE "CASTLEBAR" WHAMMY BAR MODIFICATION (done in 1981 at a cost of $2200. ...using S. Morgan Friedman's internet Inflation Calculator, that's $5207.99 in today's dollars!) Also included is an ATA Flight Approved 3/4 inch laminated plywood $800. ANVIL CASE on CASTERS. With this Clavinet you can BEND NOTES LIKE A MINI-MOOG!! And... unlike the first 10,000 Mini-Moogs, this Clavinet stays in tune!! Also, unique to this Clavinet, instead of the worthless dampener/mute switch to the right of the keyboard, Buddy has created a small opening so you can play a chord with your left hand and strum it like a zither or guitar with your right hand! A great handy effect and according to one of the leading experts on Buddy Castle Clavinets, this may be the only one to ever receive this modification.
In excellent condition. Just serviced this week and just installed with a complete set of the BRAND NEW just developed D'ADDARIO Clavinet Strings and KEN RICH SOUNDS Replacement Hammertips (which are far superior to the strings and hammertips available from Vintage Vibe or Clavinet.com). Some extra strings and hammertips also included.
I bought this from a Hollywood Recording Studio in 1984. It had been used by Chick Corea a few days before I purchased it. I put this through a pre-CBS brownface Fender Princeton and it will feedback on any note and sustain practically forever! Never fails to freak out guitarists when I fire this puppy up and overdrive it through an old tube guitar amplifier. Many hours and many hundreds of dollars have been spent getting practically every hammer and string to line up perfectly and levelling all the keys. There are maybe two keys that are slightly quieter than the rest but it is for all intensive purposes RECORDING STUDIO READY. Seldom used. Has been carefully stored in its case in a smoke-free environment when not in use over the past twenty-five years.
