Come on Ian!!! You know exactly what I am saying..
I used the word "most" ..referring to "only" arranger players...I have heard many players playing simple technique...not a bad player , but simplicity method of playing...
And yes I can and prefer to play piano on my heavy keyboard with a great keybed ..
And trying to bring in known better players for my argument ..won't work..
When they are playing arranger..they indeed use it in a limited use, but maybe out of necessity with only 61 keys....and when was the last time you seen Donny play two handed piano on a 61 keys?...and no pedals..
Donny absolutely takes advantage of "arranger" play with chord left hand..and chording right hand to compliment his vocals....Do I think Donny takes full advantage of the features a 76 key board can give...Nope!!...He plays as meets his needs...but this doesn't mean that other "skilled" players prefer the same methods...
