Members EyesForward Posted September 11, 2009 Members Share Posted September 11, 2009 Is there some place, or some way, to find out what all the great (or even just popular) keyboard players tend to use? Particularly the prominent bands/musos of the nineties and noughties, and if possible across at least most of the musical styles that could be considered well known. I don't know. Maybe it's just that Google isn't my friend after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NickD101 Posted September 11, 2009 Members Share Posted September 11, 2009 Any particular artists you're looking for? There seems to be lots of information available on almost everyone - although I reckon some of them lie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's impossible and a deadly game of cat and mouse. Here's this though... http://http://www.vintagesynth.com Look up something and chances are it's been used by somebody cooler and richer then we'll ever be.

Members soundwave106 Posted September 11, 2009 Members Share Posted September 11, 2009 Frederic Chopin used a piano. Bach used an organ. Herbie Hancock used a Chroma. /thread Well, Chopin used a piano. Then along came the late Romantics, and they weren't satisfied with just one piano. The massive orchestra I guess is the equivalent of the G.A.S.-afflicted keyboardist. Which, of course, Herbie Hancock clearly was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cygnus64 Posted September 11, 2009 Members Share Posted September 11, 2009 Bach used an organ. Bach had no stops on his organ. That's why he had so many kids. Thanks folks, I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
