i think someone in l.a. hot-rodded the rhodes circa 1979 to get some really harsh attacks i.e. donald fagen et. al.
would love to tour your 'museum' he he.
yeah there was a company called dyno my rhodes that hot rodded them for some real bite and incredible sustain. a friend of mine had his dynomyzed. i think it cost him $1500! we took his an mine apart trying to figure out what they did...we never figured it out.
i guess this is a rather useless thread as most folks take out the garbage now and then:)

roland rd-150
i use mostly in the restaurant, rd-150 and the trinityplus with bc3.
however as i recall they cost more than my vw bus.
not a uselsess thread by the way. i've been 50 for 7 years now.
that being said, i did save my very first keyboard, the very first keyboard that ever had midi actually, the casio cz-101. not a pro keyboard, but great for making noise.
i also have a rhodes 88 i'm turning into a piano player's dream (like fixing up an old corvette, eh?) i put bumps on the action and man it really has a good feel. i installed new hammers and have new dampers to put in. need a pedal.
i found a hammond m3 at a second hand store. i think they thought it was broken, you know it's kind of tricky to turn them on if you don't know how. i was walking down the path through loads of junk and went past an organ section. you know, blue, yellow, orange chits to turn on bad sounding clarinets and such, then my brain said "wait" because i had passed an organ with drawbars. i stepped back, looked at it, and yes, a hammond, but not as big as a b3. i looked around, plugged it in, and man, it started right up. the drawbars were a bit dirty but i've cleaned those.
it was on sale for $30, and 50% off. so i got a pretty nice hammond m3 for $15 plus tax. cool, eh?
that's it for my equipment. oh, i also have a honer melodica copy that my brother currently is holding for some kind of ransom. not sure what teh deal is. i'll steal it back later.

Volume 1 of this educational jazz piano book contains 15 jazz piano exercises, tricks, and other interesting jazz piano techniques, voicings, grooves, and ideas Scot Ranney enjoys playing.
"Latinesque"
Volume 2 has 14 jazz piano exercises and tricks of the trade, and quite a bit of it is Calypso jazz piano related material, including some Monty Alexander and Michel Camilo style grooves. Jazz piano education is through the ears, but books like this can help.
Volume 3 contains 12 jazz piano exercises and explorations by the acclaimed jazz piano educator, pianist, author, and recording artist Tim Richards.
Tim wrote the well known "Exploring Jazz Piano" and "Improvising Blues Piano" books and has several others to his name.
Volume 4 is by Jeff Brent, a jazz pianist, composer, teacher, and author of "Modalogy" and other acclaimed jazz theory and education books. In this book Jeff shares detailed analysis of transcriptions of live performances. He covers everything from the shape of the songs to the tricks and licks he uses in improvised lines to the ideas behind his lush chord voicings.
