Oh, so it's yours? Or on loan?

And Donny... You need a great recording of a REAL Rhodes alongside, and maybe the Yamaha would come off less impressively. The thing that made Rhodes so special was the dynamic range, and how smoothly and predictably (or not, depending on condition!) it went from clean and sparkly to overdriven.

That's the snapshot nature of samples... No matter how many layers (and this doesn't sound much more than maybe three or four, tops), there's always a distinct 'breakpoint' in timbre. And too many people equate the Rhodes with the Dyno-my-piano mod. The real thing was FAR less sparkly and bright.

And it had much more dynamics than at least that demo showed.

But the icing on the cake is the keybed. Just like a B3, or a Clavinet, the keybed itself helped dictate what you could (and couldn't!) play. Rhodes were pretty stiff, took a bit more force than a piano, and so dictated the shape of the phrases to a certain extent (the better the pianist you were, the easier it was to overcome). Sure, play it on a 61 plastic action, you can get the SOUND to a pretty good degree, but the action lets you get away with stuff you couldn't while whanging down those heavy keys!

It's kind of strange to say it, but Rhodes is one of those things that never get THAT close played on lightweight keys. It is SUPPOSED to take effort, LOL
