[ROBERT SEALS] I *had* a Hammond, who needs that big lug of a machine unless one is really picky about that "Hammond sound" (the one on my P5 will do in a pinch, but it still don't feel like the real thing). I don't play or own a Rhodes because they sound tinkly and wimpy and have no reference frame (for me) to a real musical instrument. I erased the so-called Rhodes patch on my Prophet and put the toy piano sound in its place. Why the sudden contempt for people's instruments? -- "Do I just cut 'em up like regular chickens?"
