Any ideas on how to get this sound? (maybe it's a preset somewhere?)
The hook in that song won't get out of my head.

Apparently it's a Hohner Clavinet.

That's it! Thanks.  Now I'm lookin' all over the place for that program in a plug-in.

a keyboard player i gigged with in the early 80's had a hohner clavinet, what a brilliant sound...

dated, yes, but such an organic sounding thing....
kinda like that stevie wonder plays 'Higher Ground' or 'superstition' kind of vibe.

since it had actual tuned strings inside it, like a guitar, he figured out that he could play his clavinet thru an electric guitar drive pedal thru his keyboard amp, and when he would strike a chord and hold it, it would feed back just like a guitar amp.

he covered electric rhythm guitar parts on songs where we needed two guitar parts, playing his clavinet.
just brilliant.

If you have Kontakt, there is a clavinet in the factory library, and it's not bad. Here's a video comparing it to a real clavinet.

There's a clavinet in SampleTank that's serviceable. 

Unfortunately, Dim Pro has no clav, AFAIK. So nothing built-in to SONAR that I know of.

I think there's one in Square I. 

wow bit.....
that video..

you can really hear what the samples lack in that vid, even at low resolution.

another great clavinet song

Found these by googling:

They all seem worth checking out.  Two of them are free.

Thanks Kev, and everyone for the tips and comments.
...thinkin about something obscure like a clav--kinda gets the juices flowing, don't it?
