I *had* a Hammond, who needs that big lug of a machine unless one is really
picky about that "Hammond sound" (the one on my P5 will do in a pinch, but
it still don't feel like the real thing).  I don't play or own a Rhodes because
they sound tinkly and wimpy and have no reference frame (for me) to a real
musical instrument.  I erased the so-called Rhodes patch on my Prophet and
put the toy piano sound in its place. Why the sudden contempt for people's
instruments?
