Description
The Weltmeister Claviset 200 was developed by the Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke company in 1963. Sound was generated by plucked metal reeds which were electrically scanned. Using toggle switches, nine timbres and three vibrato intensities were selected. The instrument is similar to the Cembalet manufactured by Hohner in Trossingen and was very popular in the GDR.

Artist usage
Add artist
"This is an East German instrument, made in the 1960s. The mechanism is like an African thumb piano — it's got plectra on the notes and little bars, so it's like a mechanical version of that." - Guy Sigsworth in the March 2001 issue of Sound On Sound magazine.
