Hi Joe (Songman55), I concur. I started out studying and playing acoustic piano at four, followed by synthesizer in high school ( Korg 707) and a 01wFD workstation in college. My first arranger was a Roland RA800 along with a Fatar 1176 keyboard controller, and then a Technics KN5000, followed by a Yamaha PSR2000 and subsequently, Yamaha Tyros 1, 2, and now Tyros 4. I also continue to play my Steinway B Grand all along. When people ask me what I play, in attempt to cover all above, I simply say "keyboards and vocal" and they seem to understand this as including piano, synthesizer, plus vocals. What most people aren't familiar with are the tern 'arranger' and 'auto accompaniment' probably because it isn't as widely utilized/accepted in the US yet as a keyboard performance instrument, as it is more in Europe. Perhaps this accounts for the US vs European "keyboards" nomenclature difference. Anybody else care to add anything?
