Electric Piano

As of late, I've been enjoying a lot of music with electric piano in it. Some of you may have noticed in some of posts around the forums that I've been listening to Supertramp quite a bit. Well, the reason for this post I guess is to try and familiarize myself with different electric piano sounds, as in, put a name to the sound.

I know Rick Wright used electric pianos back in the day. I read he used a Wurlitzer for "Money" and that on "Sheep" he uses a Fender Rhodes through some rotary effect. Please correct me if I am wrong.

As for other players, I know Peter Frampton's old keyboardist Mick Gallagher used a Wurlitzer and a Hohner Clavinet on the Frampton's Camel album. Then when Bob Mayo joined the fold for the 1975 tour, he brought the Rhodes with him (which we can hear delightfully on DYFLWD off Comes Alive!).

So I guess what I'm mainly trying to figure out is what electric pianos Supertramp used. For instance, what Roger Hodgson is playing on songs like "Dreamer" or "Lady", and what Rick Davies is playing on songs like "Goodbye Stranger" or "Bloody Well Right". If anyone has any info on this, or on electric pianos in general, I'd love to know.
