- The sound , workings, and history of The Pianet as it relates to The Beatles.Demonstrates the following songs by The Beatles: "The Night Before", "I am The Walrus", "Tell Me What You See", and "You like Me Too Much".A look inside and out of the instrument.
Did anyone else hear Ringo come in on the drums at 0:57? Sound is very authentic!
There isn't too many videos going through the Beatles vintage gear and your channel happens to be one of a few. Great content Perry, looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks!
Great video, stands alongside the wurlitzer & fender rhodes classics 🎶
Loving this clip on the Pianet. This instrument was also used in songs by the Zombies.
Damn, I really wish this video was longer! Love the Pianet. Sounds a lot like a Wurlitzer, sorta. 😉
That was great! Thanks for the tips!
The holy grail of keys!
awesome video Perry, love the Pianet, and thanks for the lesson.
Thanks, Dave!
Very cool video, I love vintage keys
Thanks for watching!
You're a Beatle encyclopedia and you play very well. Great channel.
Thanks, Sylvio!
Hello : fantastic videos ! I have a hohner pianet N which has been rebuilt ! Love it : did away with the foot pedal : I’ve done several Beatles projects using as much vintage hardware as I could find ! Altec compressors , Neumann U47, and coles Mike’s
You might like my next video then! It's right up your alley! Thanks for watching!
Wow that sound of I am the walrus was superb. I always wondered what instrument that was. I thought it was just an organ.
Cool,right? There’s no mistaking the sound when you have the right instrument! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic, thanks for sharing Perry!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video. The Pianet sound in The Night Before was something new to me and mysterious when I heard it as a kid back in the days. We were familiar with electric guitars and organs but this came like a new unknown fruitdrop flavor to my child's ears. Then I learned about electric pianos. I thought this one was a Wurli. They sound somewhat similar I guess.
Thanks for watching!
Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music also played a Hohner Pianet on Editions Of You from For Your Pleasure.
Loved this
Perry Stanley - a word for this vide - awesome.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Heavy Pianet users: The Zombies, Lovin Spoonfull, Gracious, Rare Birds, Van Der Graff Generator, Genesis, King Crimson, Roxy Music, Gentle Giant.
Really great video, my friend!!! Really enjoyed it!!!
Thank you!
Incredibly Interesting Perry Thank You
Thank you for watching!
I think you must be Gordan Ramsey's long lost son! Only kidding. Fascinating video about that vintage leyboard . Hearing you play " I Am the Walrus" gives me goosebumps. I love that keyboard part!
Sounds like a Wurlitzer to me. Cool!
Nice video.
I never knew what the instrument they used was.
Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Hi Perry. Never knew what a pianet was before and never knew it was so prominent in Beatle songs. BTW, do u know the chord progressions of every single Beatles' song?
Do I know the chord progressions of every Beatles song? No. There are many I have played for years and some I would have to listen to the record and do a little research before playing it public…. And I still might not have it perfectly! I just do the best I can and hope it’s good enough!
".....another feature is that it made for an excellent guitar stand."
LOL! True!
I had two of these back in 1969. I tipped beer into the first one - it didn't work so well afterwards 🙂
LOL!🤣
Sounds exactly like the one used in "you're my best friend" by Queen
Don't know what Queen used for that , but it is possible it could have been a pianet. Thanks for watching!
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Its either a Fender Rhodes or Wurlitzer
@@mario486waluigi2 Wurlitzer.
The Pianet and Cembalet were sort of good instruments for people who needed to improve their physical dexterity. Neither of them is capable of supporting a sustain pedal. I can’t speak for the architecture of the Pianet, but I read in the book Vintage Synthesizers that was assembled by Mark Vail that the Cembalet was built based upon the traditional baroque version which couldn’t have included a sustainer system. The Pianet’s architecture probably was rooted in that mechanism. I think the same could be said for the Clavinet.
I’ve often wondered what was built differently about the Wurlitzer electric piano line that permitted for it to include a sustain pedal that was different from models built by Hohner.
@Shred The Wurlitzers have a similar mechanism to acoustic stringed pianos, utilizing hammers to strike the reeds, so they are able to employ a sustain mechanism like in a regular piano. In the reed Pianets, the reed is not struck, but has a sticky pad that makes it vibrate when it lifts off the reed surface. The Cembalets are similar but use a plectrum (like a guitar pick) to pluck the side of the reed instead of a sticky pad, when a key is pressed.
Thank you for reminding me of those details, @@darwinsaye. I had read them, but it was long enough ago that I had let them slip my mind. Makes me wonder if the design staff at Hohner created and modified playing mechanism when they built the electric piano (not to be confused with the RMI model of the same name). The Electra model is built with the same Reed but with a more traditional piano dampening system, complete with sustaining.
@@Shred_The_Weapon Thanks, I didn’t know that about the Hohner Electra. I did also have the fully electronic RMI Electra Piano you’re talking about as well, for a few years.
Gladly,@@darwinsaye. Here’s a video of somebody playing one. You can tell from watching their hands that it is built with a sustaining mechanism, intuition to looking like a regular console piano.

Incidentally, there is a preset on my Yamaha S90XS that sounds a lot like that piano model. However, it is labeled “Electro Piano”.
So Hohner Pianet in the 1960s were expensive and hard-to-find in the US?, the Wurlizer was the more common American Electric Piano back then.

Is there any way to get a patch of this for my keyboard? I have a Yamaha YPG 235. I love the sound!
Yes, there are many samples and patches on various keyboards. I have a nord stage 2 that has a pianet patch.
Manfred Mann also used one of these. U.K. 1967. Which one?
Don't know for sure, but if it was 67 it was most likely the Paint N.
Ok
Pianet what? N? M?
It is sometimes referred to as a C, but is a MKi version.
