Richard Manuel
Richard Manuel's Keyboards and Synthesizers
Manuel played a Hohner Pianet throughout the 1970s with The Band.
This site contains additional info and pictures regarding Manuel's use of the Pianet:
I think that, of the albums I have (Music from Big Pink, The Band, Stage Fright, Cahoots, Rock of Ages, Moondog Matinee, Northern Lights-Southern Cross, and The Last Waltz), the Pianet appears in only four songs: "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)," "Caledonia Mission," "Get Up Jake," and "The Shape I'm In" on Rock of Ages. (The Pianet has an effect applied to it for "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)" and "The Shape I'm In," ostensibly the Mu-Tron.)
"The Pianet's keys are pretty much all that's visible of it in the picture above (a Mu-Tron Bi-phase and what I believe is an ARP Pro-Soloist are stacked on top of it). "
While Manuel usually played a Hohner Pianet N with The Band, he appears to have played a Hohner Cembalet N at the legendary Last Waltz performance. This photo from before the concert shows a Cembalet on the right (the keys on a Cembalet range from C to C, while the keys on a Pianet range from F to F).
