---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ron, Tom does get around, doesn't he? I'll have to check out the Whalen LP(I'm the one who recommended "Inner Voyage"). The piano on Gonzalo's CD sounds great on my system. It doesn't sound like a Rhodes to me, but there IS an amazing amount of sustain, and the treble is indeed bell-like. I can see wouldn't please everybody, but I feel like it does quite well in the context in which it was recorded. To be truthful, in real life, I prefer the Mason and Hamlin BB type of sound, but that type of resonance probably does not record as well as the CF III. Thanks for the recommendation on Mike Whalen!
