Really? I remember the Rhodes action being quite muddy and heavy, to the
point that it required some real finger muscles.
Something interesting about the Rhodes electric piano, I found, was
that I played it quite differently from the way I would play an
accoustic piano.
The keys are lighter weighted too, between an organ and a classical piano. That leaded to
a whole different way to play it. I like to compare the difference between an accoustic
and an electric guitar.
I wanted to add that the Rhodes is my alltime favourite instrument and that it's
perfect for funk :)
Yup, just be carefull venturing more than an octave above middle C.
That's where you get into "light jazz" territory and you have to know
what you're doing there. Then again Chic Corea never had a problem
there, but I'm quite sure he knew what he was doing.
Pardon my bad english.
It's fine
