Nice one that. I have a Yamaha CP300 and an old Korg CX3, and I sadly never have time to use them. I kept them myself when I sold my sound hire company. The CX3 at least gets used quite a bit, as I often hire it out for concerts, as Hammonds B3 and Leslie are few and far between, and a pain in the ass to move around.
Still regret I didn't keep the Fender Rhodes! It was old, but in absolutely mint condition!

I just love that sound of a Fender Rhodes. I have 1100 tones on my Roland and just don't find the right tone for all those songs that have a Rhodes Piano in them. I searched and searched for one for Riders on the Storm. In the end I compromised.

I'm only in year 2. Next step is to go midi and find these external tones and get them into my gigging armoury.

I play in an Alanis tribute band in the south-east of the UK (Jagged Little Alanis). I also play in a pub band and a blues band. I dep for another 3 or 4 bands and am constantly sitting in house bands for open mics. Most of the songs go in as programs into the RD-2000 and I then have Mobile Sheets on the iPad to host all of the setlists. I have somewhere between 300 and 400 songs from different genres that I've performed at some stage in the last 18 months since I started.

It's a real mixed bag. If I'm doing something like Great Balls of Fire, then I just have the grand piano on and no program. If I'm doing Insomnia then I have 8 different tones all working together on different parts of the 8 octaves. Other cool programs are Cars and Are Friends Electric by Numan. The newest one for our pub band will be Blinding Lights by The Weeknd.

So do you play?

Used to in a past life. Covers also.

There's definitely something special about the Fender Rhodes. Lots have tried to copy the sound, but few, if any, manage reproduce it as the original.

Arturia Stage 73 ...is a go-to for Rhodes reproduction.
 
Yessssss! We did it! After failing the 2 previous seasons, we finally did it! We are the champions! And what a way to do it! In the final game of the season, my local team needed a draw to to secure promotion. They played a team they've only beaten once in 5 games, and went out and totally demolished them! 10-0 win on the final day to secure a well deserved promotion! That's strong mentality! 13 wins in the last 13 games! Absolutely delighted!

And then Spurs of course made sure to dampen the mood.... Slightly at least.
