"Hold on Girl"

---&---

A couple days ago, I learned the introductory keyboard part for "Hold on Girl."  It shows up again later in the song, and it's expanded a bit at the end (although I haven't workt on that yet).

I'm not positive of what instrument this is played on (and since the personnel on the recording are unknown, apparently so are what instruments are present), but I think it's clavichord.  That's what I used anyway (well, the fake clavichord setting on my keyboard).  There's something of a tremolo effect (particularly in the lower register), which rules out electric piano, and there's a darker timbre, which makes me think it's clavichord rather than harpsichord.
