Editing Clavinet (section)

==Effects==
The Castle Bar is an aftermarket device invented by Buddy Castle in the mid-1970s that connects the strings to a rotating bridge, which is fixed to a rod on top of the instrument. This makes it possible to [[pitch bend|bend the pitch]], in a similar manner to a [[vibrato systems for guitar|tremolo arm]] on a guitar, by pressing the rod.<ref name=sos/>{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|p=245}} The Clavinet can then be used in a very different manner, and it makes it a suitable lead instrument. There are upgraded reissues of the device available which are more reliable than the original.<ref name=sos/>

The Clavinet is often played through a [[wah wah pedal]] or fed through an [[auto wah]] box. This is a particularly popular setup when playing funk. Other suitable [[stomp box]]es that can be used with a Clavinet include [[phaser (effect)|phaser]] or [[chorus (audio effect)|chorus]].{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|p=245}}
