"Mack The Knife" was recorded in 1959...(grammy in 1960)� - was this model Chamberlin available then?
On the other hand, I think I can see the Chamberlin in this video of "Mack the Knife"...it is near the bottom right hand of the picture, painted in stealth black...right behind the cavalry charge.

One thought...there was another keyboardist that was a fan of Three Penny opera tunes.
Ray Manzarek (and Jim Morrison) also did a Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht Three Penny Opera tune�- "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)".
I heard a rumor that one night in Stockholm the Doors actually performed "Mack the Knife" live , and for one night Ray Manzarek traded in his cheesy farfisa sound for a cheesy string sound.
I will say this, the keys on the Chamberlin "are pearly white...."

I have asked the seller to prove its provenance.
