Owning a G70 from it's initial release, and having payed about $3500 for the privilege, I feel I can comfortably critique ANY arranger out there in it's price ballpark, and compare it (and anything else I've heard) to that level. No offense, but that Wersi was hard pressed to sound good against an outdated Technics, let alone any TOTL modern arranger.
You can't possibly tell me that that piano impressed you at all?
Didn't Europe used to MAKE Steinway's?
My ears were born and raised in Europe, and I was a full organ player in the sixties and seventies, and sold and demonstrated Thomases, Lowery's, Elka's and Hammonds, amongst many others. But, eventually, they grew up
Along with technology, and musical tastes. Europe may still be the bastion of organ aficionados, but it still gets most of it's pop and jazz music from the States, at least the styles...
Jazz, blues, rock and roll, heavy rock, punk, disco, hiphop, rap, trance... you name it. All of these originated in the States. So much for our 'inferior' ears
But feel free to keep copying our music and playing it on outdated, 60's vintage sounds and instruments... Hey, why not go all the way, and just perform on harpsichords and clavichords?
When behemoth seaside organs become contemporary music again, let me know. We'll talk again about my 'inferior' ears when the facts make it true...
