I went it our local music shack yesterday and there were two prof KB players in there, I put it to them about this 76 /61 KBs and frankly they don't give a toss, when I told them about you and your views on the subject they just could not understand, they would both glady play the T4 on stage in front of 1000s if thats what paid the water, gas and electric bill and if 76 note kb died tommorrow, so what! The only thing they did say " we need bigger speaker than supplied with the T4".
Tony, I have asked many professional (and advanced) players as well, and got the same answer you did.
The
fact that
many SZ'ers are playing and gigging with 61 keys, most (if not all) of them
advanced and
pro level players, should easily indicate that playing 61 notes is not only
possible, but, in most cases,
preferable.
Now, I would like to
suggest that anyone wanting to debate this tired old, and
no win, topic of 76 notes versus 61,
please start a NEW TOPIC or NEW THREAD on the subject. I don't believe the original poster intended for this topic to become a debate. In fact, he offered his solution of using an
88 note weighted controller (not 76) if more notes had been needed.
If his intention was to start a debate 76 vs 61 keys, I stand corrected...if he did not, then let's carry on with comments on the posted music, which is what I believe was the original reason for posting.
