The second video is my favourite.
Enjoyable, great souning and playing, also the Yamaha style 'as is'!
Tnx for sharing.

Unfornately the pricetag for Sonic OAX800 is $30.000 ++
a bit too much for an retired average home player.

Wow, on the second video, one of my favorite tunes, 'Dear old Stockholm'. I'm more familiar with the Stan Getz version and I play it as a straight-ahead 4/4 jazz tune. I've thought about posting it many times but figured nobody was familiar with it. I'm glad that's not the case, it's a very pretty tune. BTW, an awesome sounding instrument. The tones (voices) exude quality.

Nice Bill. I wish Wersi would come out with a follow up to the Pegasus wing (61 key version version like original Pegasus keyboards)...always liked their sounds.

Chas,
here are some info at Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dear_Old_Stockholm

We Scandinawians know this song under another title: "Ack Värmeland du sköna".
Several versions during the time, but originally not jazz or bossa.
(Btw, I really like the bossa version, never thought about it that way)

If any interest, look at YT for the Swedish title. smile

Thanks GJ. Very interesting. Common sense should have told me it had Scandinavian origins but since I've only known it as a jazz tune, I never thought much about it. Hard to believe it dates all the way back to 1912. It's almost as old as Fran smile.
