Old School Electric Pianos

[Moustache_Bash]

Are there any cool lower cost alternatives to the Fender Rhodes/Wurlitzer 200/type of pianos?

[Dr. Sherman Sticks M.D.]

not to up on the subject, but there are definitely some out there. search ebay maybe for some ideas.

farfisa, kawaii make some cool ones pretty sure

I've seen Rhodes with issues go for around $500 locally. IMO nothing sounds as sexy as the real deal. @ 500 bucks they never stay for sale for long and they always seem to pop up when I don't have any discretionary income.

Perhaps a Midi Controller and some pirated software would get you there?

Pianet T is cheaper than those and sounds good, but you'd likely have to replace those sticky pads. Also, no sustain pedal ability.

[tuffteef]

even the pianet t's have skyrocketed
you could cop for like 150 200 now there like 5 to 6

Roland synths have really good Electric P sounds... Most of the Electric Ps from the 80's and 90's were Roland patches... Also Yamaha CPs are cool and not always as expensive but they are huge...

In the US used Rhodes are so cheap...everyone should have one.

What particular Roland Synths have good suitcase sounds? I'm looking for a keyboard to play with

The Roland XV/XP are good and if you can find a Fantom GET IT... The XVs are rack or table top and you can use whatever Midi controller you want plus they have the SRX expansion slots for the Classic EPs pack which is awesome...

If you desperately need hardware, Korg SV-1 ?

I agree that everyone should have on; but in good shape they are $1000-$1500 and in some cases more. That would take a bit of discipline and saving for me to afford.

My city is flooded with 'em and they are still about a G... I can find 'em for 7 or 8 maybe... They pop up at my local Pawn/Music shop often...
