Wow - I could never sit that low. When I do choose to kick back, I have a nice padded stool that allows me to "almost" stand, but it hurts my butt to be on the edge all night - I'm better with the shifting of weight between feet.

Scott, I'm on the sustain constantly, and mostly have an EP sound in my RH. I'd be very uncomfortable without a sustain. My priorities have always been as follows:

1. vocal
2. bass
3. drums
4. chords (piano-ish)

Maybe I am more forgiving of the Yamaha mono tone because:
a. I do modify it to punch up the freq that are lacking or weak, and
b. the piano is 4th on my list of important sounds. I could use any old chord sound and still maintain my signature sound as long as the vocals are strong, and the bass and drums are good. I played for so many years with a Rhodes and a Moog bass - I got used to being a small trio type ensemble. As the sounds got better, I started to use more of them, but I am still a Rhodes,bass,drums trio with a vocal harmony group in front. That's the way I like it, and thank God it still sells!
