It's ok! I am NOT the keyboard expert by any stretch of the imagination! It's not like I have ever even played an actual FR in my life.  ...sigh... The only keyboard I own is Korg SP-200! So, no worries...I just get confused sometimes because FR and Hohner sound some what similar...at least to these ears.  How long did she keep the Clav. in her stage setup? This performance was from 1976 Midnight Special...Rhiannon...I'll post later on. on edit...looking back at the video...it TOTALLY is a Hohner...it was staring me right in the face.

 But, I think the clav was always on top of the other keys, and this sure appears to be on top, so.......David's the keyboard sexpert though... I used to have a FR. Heavy as ****, and I was always adjusting the tines(with varying success). I was glad to get rid of it. I now wish I still had it for home use.

The Combo Pianet is what she playing there. The various pianets were electromechanical pianos (or just electric pianos for short). The clav is another Hohner product (also considered an electric piano but used more by the funkmeisters & the R&B artists to punctuate the rhythm). Chris probably never (never say 'never') brought the clav onstage but used it here & there in the studio. When you think clav, think Stevie Wonder's funky "Superstition" line. When you think pianet, think Christine (or Zombies "She's Not There"). Somewhere there's another thread where I posted pictures of the pianet & I was trying to identify the very old pianet that she used live when FM toured in May/June/July/August 1975. I decided it was the N. I also had pictures from later on in the 1975 tour -- like around November -- & the Combo Pianet. So she switched to the Combo probably when it was first made available. The Combo says "Hohner Combo Pianet" on the back & on the front, & generates its sound exactly the same way that the older N does. If you buy a Combo Pianet today, you will need to put on the new "sticky pads" they sell at clavinet.com. All the old sticky pads from these instruments are stickied out. The top-secret goo has worn off, thus rendering them unplayable unless you replace the pads. That's why I was really looking forward to the Nord Stage plan to include a pianet patch -- it would have been great & totally authentic because Nord is so good at simulating the electromechanical pianos. Bummer that didn't happen ... at least not yet. Pianet patches/voices on new instruments are so rare as to be practically nonexistent. One of the old Roland CD-ROMs has one, & the Voce module has a bad one (or a good mimic of the T, which nobody wants anyway).

I doubt she'd ever do it, especially for a solo thing, since we know how shy she can be on stage... But it would be awesome to have her back for a little something.

After she sort of decided the marriage thing wasn't totally working anymore, she moved the ring to her right hand, where it remained for quite a few years. -Lis

I wouldn't think it is common, no. But is anything this group went through common? She talked a bit about wearing the ring on her other finger in that 1977 Rumours article (where she talked like she was in therapy  )- about how she didn't want to wipe what they had off the board, and how she still had a lot of love for him. He wore the penguin ring she gave him after she left him on his right hand, also for many years. As for 'kind of divorced'-- I believe John did refer to it as a 'semi divorce' in that Classic Album thing. An interesting time of transition, perhaps. --Lis

I think it did take a brief hiatus then. But it was back on for sure during the Mirage years, check out the Schlitz poster as an example... -Lis
