I used to play a lot of left hand bass, and having at least 76 notes was necessary to get to that low "E".

When I started playing bass pedals with my B3 it was fine having 61 notes.

The arranger practically eliminates the need for the bass and I find I only need 61 keys to get the job done....it's just sometimes difficult to keep my feet still.

Great topic, Gary
