[ddots-l] Re: Return of the Rhoads electric piano??

No great loss as far as I'm concerned. Jerry Lee Louis is a dispicable character. And of course he would never play a rhodes, his sound was based around that sharp percussive piano.

I once played in a band that was to open the show for Jerry Lee Lewis. This was at a swank new country dance hall in San Antonio. After our set, the stage people came out and set up a brand new Fender Rhodes for Jerry to play on. He came on stage, took one look at the Rhodes and walked over and put his boot on the keyboard and shoved it over and walked out. No Jerry Lee that night.

Hi James,
You're absolutely right; however, my neighbor took both pieces (the suitcase model) out of the car and made one trip into the house with them. Either he's very strong, or was very drunk at the time.

Well, keep in mind that the grass always looks greener on the other side.
Remember the broken tines, the hassle of keeping it in tune, the often
intolerable grounding problems, and the general inconsistency from one note 
to another?  Unless they have drastically improved the mechanics without
compromising the sound, I don't think it is worth it.  The newer rhodes's
that used the plastic hammers never had that bite and edge that the ones in 
the '70's had.
