The Pianet T is wonderful, and even more lovely with the custom stand (which I covet greatly)
Very gig-able, being the size of a guitar case, if slightly* heavier. Passive electronics, sound ace thru pedals & a nice amp
*they are a lot heavier, but I got mine home on the train the day I bought it.

I'm selling my vintage Hohner Pianet T electro-mechanical piano as designed by Ernst Zacharius. It's in wonderful condition with it's own custom stand. DM me for details if interested.

From simpler times, when I would happily spend a couple of hundred hours just slicing up samples and programming every single drum hit individually to make up the drum track.
Disappointingly, no-one has ever given me props for the pun in the remix title though.

It’s Bandcamp Day, when the platform I’ve been releasing music on since 2009 celebrates their artists by taking 0% of sales. They are good eggs!
