I saw an interesting topic over on Keyboard Corner Forum...the title was, �Do I really want my keyboard to sound like a saxophone?�

Now I realize, that many of the respondents to that particular thread are playing in a group, so the sound of guitar, sax, harmonica etc., would more than likely be covered by a real person.
However, we arranger players are usually one-man (or woman) band giggers (or �workers�, as Dave likes to call it ), and using various tones to color our music seems to be more acceptable.

Or is it?

Lee�s remarks about the importance of the orchestra sounds (to him) prompted me to ask these questions of SZ�ers

How does each member feel about the emulation of instruments other than those naturally produced by a keyboard controlled instrument?

What do you consider your best emulation attempt...sax, guitar, fiddle, harmonica, or something else?

What non-keyboard instrument emulation do you refuse to do, or feel the least comfortable with representing?

What non-keyboard instrument, in your own opinion, do you feel your arranger does the best job of imitating?

What non-keyboard instruments do you wish it would do a better job of emulating?

If you are primarily a singer, what non-keyboard instrument sounds on your arrangers to you like to solo with, or use the most often?
