Rikki, after re-reading my own post, I guess it did sound a little dictatorial (and judgmental) to suggest that money spent on a TOTL arranger might be better spent on first improving one's technical (playing) skills. Certainly that is one's personal choice. As my Dad used to say, "if you've got it, spend it" (his actual words were, "if you've got it, flaunt it" and it was usually directed at young women in tight clothing - that was PRE 'Me Too' movement ). I'm still not sure if it makes sense to give a kid who flunked 2nd grade math, a SuperComputer. But who knows, he might use it not to map the human genome but to figure out the password to Dad's online banking account - or porn site. So yes, having superior equipment COULD possibly enhance one's intellectual and/or artistic abilities. So, I am now reversing myself and saying to one and all; go ahead and get that Genos, heck, you might progress from 2 finger chords to three finger chords.

All in good fun, Rikki, all in good fun. It's been calculated that a Hammond B3 has over 2 million combinations (registrations). That will keep me busy for awhile .
