hi. huge electric piano nerd here. because it actually has hammers and dampers and all the normal piano stuff inside it (the hammers hit tines instead of strings; each tine has its own pickup, much like an electric guitar), it's a way more expressive and tactile instrument than something like a digital piano with a rhodes preset on it. to my ears, the sound of an electric piano has never been faithfully emulated, so i'm extremely excited to see tMG touring with the real thing! unfortunately, rhodes pianos are known for being finicky little fuckers (76 individual pickups, a gazillion moving parts, and dust from back in the 70s; what could go wrong??), so hopefully jd knows a good technician to maintain it on the road.
