Just curious; why do we always key on the fidelity of the PIANO sound in an arranger when it's usually the least prominent voice in the average ARRANGEMENT. And if it's an orchestral arrangement, isn't the string section (including individual string voices) or the flutes or the oboes and bassoons at least as important? Or even in Big Band arrangements, what about the trumpets, trombones, saxes, acoustic basses, drums, etc. Frankly, I don't think I've ever heard an arranger performance that was 'ruined' by the quality of the piano voice. In the words of Synthzone's legendary literary giant, "just sayin'".
