That's funny, Gary. I remember years ago playing a small Kemble upright that had three pedals on it. The third pedal operated a wooden rod with small metal tags on felt strips attached. On pressing the pedal, the metal tags would position just above the strings in the path of the hammers, so giving that honky-tonk, jangling sound.

I sincerely believe the absolutely best piano sounds I've ever heard from an arranger keyboard was from the old PSR-5700. It was a beast of a keyboard, tipped the scales at more than 50 pounds, only had 35 styles, and maybe the same number of voices, but the grand piano and vibes sounds were absolutely outstanding.

Cheers,

Gary

And if they are the RIGHT styles and voices that's more than anyone needs ...

But my 35 styles of choice will be different to Donny's, which will be different to DonM's, which will be different from Tostie's... Etc., etc..

What I was trying to say was that if a person has the 35 styles & voices he/she needs that would be more than enough ... guess I didn't express myself well ...

I understood you perfectly, Tony.

Gary

But that's kind of why you need hundreds of GOOD styles in any arranger. So you can find 35 that you LIKE..!
