I’ve been all over the piano for like forever, but in recent years I use electric piano a lot (voices like Rhodes piano).

A piano voice started to appear a little bit cold and too serious to me. Also, when you play bass notes on the piano it makes music a little bit too heavy, esp “walking bass”. Electric piano is more neutral. Now I rehearse with a singing girl and I like that electric piano does not steal the focus from her voice.

Also, I play epiano mostly without a pedal. So there’s no need in huge polyphony. It makes me to rediscover my Yamaha MM6, because it has some decent epiano voices as its 32 voices polyphony is not a problem. Also, MM6 has a tighter keybed than my PSR-S950.

But I agree that a default piano voice says a lot about a keyboard.
