Best Keyboards Choices

2007-12-02 by MAinPsych@aol.com

Ok, campers, attached is a spreadsheet listing of 45 keys, in no particular order, largely based on those identified in recent member emails (including space for a write-in).
 
1. Select up to 5 of what you feel are the best keyboards;
2. Limit your selections to what you are personally familiar with;
3. If choosing a Mellotron, Chamberlin, or any other that has "model" next to
   it, please specify the particular model);
4. OPTIONAL: Include brief comments about your selections if you wish;
5. Email ONLY your selections; please do not send back the whole stinkin'
   spreadsheet.
 
Voting will be open through this Wednesday (12/5), unless I see a significant drop in responses, in which case a posting will be sent alerting members of pending closure.
 
Have fun!

1. Mellotron M400           |
2. MiniMoog                   >  classic set  up
3. Hammond C3 w/ Leslie    |
4. Roland Juno 60 - not fancy, but versatile when tweaked
5. Yamaha P120 digital piano - great piano sound; strings mix well with tron
