Do you prefer the sound of the Rhodes, Wurlitzer, or Clavichord over the grand piano?

Always loved the sound of the Fender Rhodes. Trouble is when you are an old guy like me, having to haul one to play for gigs, is like toting a Hammond B-3 with a Leslie!

I like it when music is played on the instrument for which it was written, whether that's a piano, a harpsichord, organ or whatever.

None of the above. Give me a grand piano any day, though I love instrumentals of any sort, particularly piano or guitar.

First off, I. AM. NOT. a keyboard player, but I can fake it a little bit with some block chords and fills. That said, I use a Wurlitzer patch on my Roland keyboard almost exclusively. Some tremolo, some phaser, a bit of overdrive and voila! When I conceive piano parts for original music or covers, it's the sound I have in my head.
