| 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.

| Re: Electric Piano Supertramp used a lot of phat-sounding Rhodes. Rhodes sounds kind of bell like. A Wurlitzer sounds like a Rhodes with a tremelo effect. I like electric piano sounds too, they're so funky! If they're used correctly, as in not like Keane, who use a Yamaha CP-70 as if it's a machine to bang out chords. |

| Re: Electric Piano Quote:
Actually, now that I've done a bit of research, as well as buying Supertramp's DVD, it's clear that Supertramp's sound came from the Wurly, not the Rhodes. I saw the movie Ray recently. Good movie. It shows him playing a Rhodes at the start, and a Wurlitzer during the actual movie. I did a little digging and I found the following sites: http://www.hollowsun.com/vintage/index.html http://www.angelfire.com/home/FloydW...ght/equip.html The first is a site about vintage keyboards and the like. The second is about Rick's equipment. I guess my above statements about Money and Sheep were correct. If anyone else finds anything more, please post. *Edit* I must add that the clavinet bit in Shine On You Crazy Diamond, pt. 8 is awesome.
