5. I ran my B3 through a pair of 122s. They spun up a little slower that the 145, inho. And I liked that.

Agree with you on the Rhodes action. Stuff like Spain was pretty much the outer edge of what I could eke out. There’s a honky tonk section in Karn Evil 9 that never worked on a Rhodes. I ended up using a Honer Clavinet for it that was passable.

All that’s gone now but I still have a Yamaha P-500 that I love for its feel. Not a Steinway but one of the better piano actions out there…again inho.

Btw…fun to run the Rhodes through the 122s. Kind of a Doobie Bros “Another Lonely Park” sound.
