SV: Electric piano

[Ola Andersson]

ABBA used the Yamaha Electric Grand a lot. I remember when it come and I liked it alot then.

I grew up with one of Swedens best jazz pianist
He told me that if he can't have a acoustic instrument he plays a Fender Rhodes.
He will not  play a digital instrument.
I agree with that. a Rhodes are like a miked vibraphone so it's kind of acoustical.
