you got my vote here Chas for MAYBE BEST POST EVER... however, i would like to submit my reply here for consideration as well:
SOLUTION TO 61/76 CONTROVERSY: why don't we
stop fighting, just compromise and split the difference, guys?????????? let's see..a 15 key differential split
in half means we add 7.5 keys, making it a
new arranger kb standard: 68.5 keys!!!!!! BRILLIANT! er, ooops..1/2 a key won't work.
so we have to decide on 68 or 69 keys. I think everyone should chime in here on which
they think is better..each has its advantages
and disadvantages, of course..I have always
been partial to 69, because it implies equal pleasure at both ends of the keyboard...but of course more conservative-minded players
would favor the 68 (which is a bit lighter as well, and might fit more easily in Uncle Dave's case). ANYONE? (don't forget to duck)
