The PSR-S900 uses Guitar Mega Voices in the styles...as realistic as you're gonna get.

Of course, we all hear differently.

Good luck with your quest.

Well at least there are two of us. Although I graduated from The Catholic Univ. in DC (undergraduate) and have been a member of various Unitarian-Universalist churches for most of my adult life, I have never felt the need to worship some mythical figure in order to be a decent human being. In fact, the older I get the more ridiculous the whole concept sounds. But that's for another thread, another board......

How can this question possibly be answered without specifying the type of church, the type of music wanted by the congregation, cathedral or shack, etc., etc., etc.

It's also not going to get addressed without exposing some of our individual religious beliefs, which are bound to offend someone, somewhere. That's why we have a "Mid-East situation" now.

When it comes to anything that involves religion, 10 responders will guarantee you at least 11 opinions. Until the question is more focused, the only responses that have value are those that point out the strengths and weaknesses of the various instruments in a given application.

Hey Ian, we're lucky. We may not get to Heaven but at least we won't have Hell to look forward to, either.

We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children are smart.

Good one, Ian. You're gaining ground on Diki. In fact,.......

Not a chance, Chas, Diki is miles ahead of me.

I'm just glad to be still in the game.

Played a funeral on a B-3 will a 122 recently. At the right church, it's the best choice!

Hey Russ, I want you to do the same thing at mine (that is, if we can't get Joey D). As far as the right church, my church won't mind; they'll probably just be happy I'm gone. "I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you" might be appropriate .

I still stand by this. The Lord has never set out guidelines for how services are supposed to be (at least in the New Testament). One person's opinion about what a service should be is exactly that... One person's opinion (or one sect, one Pope's, one Archbishop's).

Until the Lord makes a second coming and explains to me whether or not I should use an arranger, or a B3, or the Mighty Wurlitzer, I am prepared to believe He wants us to make our OWN minds up about this one. Just remember, at the time of Christ, there were NO KEYBOARDS AT ALL...

Maybe this means we shouldn't use ANY keyboards and go back to the shofar...
