This piano comes from the “Late Mark I” period (1977-1979), characterized by having a very balanced sound across the keyboard and a smoother bark than the earlier Mark I’s. The suitcase electronics were updated with the Janus design in late 1977, which had improved EQ controls and wider range of vibrato speed control.
