I have to tell you Gary, I take issue with your inferences here. That's pretty snobbish I think. I'm one of those guys you refer to, but more the issue is the key feel to me than the size. If that troubles you, so be it.. but I don't think I need you to tell me that you think I should take up golf or something. Maybe if you had ever seen or heard me play, and you wanted to add that comment.... but.. I don't think so..

So far in the past 30+ years noone has told me that though.. including some very talnted and demanding studio musicians I've worked with.

I'm not the best player on earth I'm sure, and I continue to l;earn every day and hopefully as long as I live. That said, in all honesty, I haven't met too many players that I think are that far ahead of me either. I can play any keyboard you put in front of me whether it be an acoustic grand or a PSr2000, and be proficient on it. But, I don't prefer to use an instrument that I feel hinders my performance. At times I play some very intense solos and intricate rythyms, and I want something that doesn't feel like a wet sponge under my fingers when I play. Much like my guitarist, who prefers certain strings and guitar feels to other's. He can play everything from Robin Trower hard edged style blues to just about anything DiMeola and John McLaughlin / Mahavishnu have ever released. I doubt I would be telling him to take up golf if he told me he didn't like something about the feel of his guitar or the strings...
