whatever the recording studio has :o) in the case of the studio recordings on my site, it was a steinway concert grand. those were recorded in the 120 room at eastman.....that's the piano on which i got to rehearse with the big band everyday for two years :o) i surely miss that one. you must believe in spring was on a recital using the same steinway. the carolina shout recording was done in a berklee practice room on a yamaha upright. his eye is on the sparrow was in a different recording studio in rochester....can't remember. brighter day and i wish were with my yamaha motif. confirmation was on one of the ensemble room pianos at eastman......i forget which one.

as far as what pianos i prefer...i usually prefer yamaha for jazz stuff, although, for some things steinways are great(i.e. solo piano stuff). yamahas tend to cut through a little better in ensemble situations. i played a bosendorfer once and thought it was the best piano i'd ever played, but i can't really say it's my favorite, as i would need to play it a lot more.

i'm using a kurzweill sp-88 with a motif es rack. nice and light, and does the job. i appreciate the feedback you gave when i inquired about it last year. the kurzweil's interface sucks, but.......once i get it the way i want..........it works great. most gigs i use the same few patches, so the interface doesn't matter so much. i love that it's less than 30 lbs. and has it's own internal sounds. some gigs i don't even use the rack, which is really killin. i really think that the perfect, lightweight keyboard for gigging has yet to be invented. although, i didn't really check out any of the new stuff from namm this year........anything good?

oh, forgot to mention.........i use the fender passport p-150 for my amp. it's nice that it's light and folds up into one piece. it requires a few more cables than i would like, but it sounds decent. stereo sound makes a big difference, imo.
