Rod Argent's Hohner Pianets

Back in September, I started a blog devoted to the Hohner Pianet.  My main goal is to record keyboard pieces using the Pianet sample on my Nord Electro 5, but now and then I also write some posts about the instrument itself.  (For example:  in February, I published a post in which I transcribed the German text of the demonstration record and translated it into English.)  Earlier this month, I published a post in which I tried to provide a comprehensive history of Rod Argent's use of the Pianet (from 1963 to 1974).

"Let It Go"

Yester-day, the Zombies posted that it was the anniversary of the release of Breathe Out, Breathe In, so I listened to the album.  I found two small things to note in "Let It Go":  "Night and day" and "From high and low" are both merisms.
