Music Appreciation

For a few years.
The Kustom introduced the K-88.
88 key weighted piano keyboard that used analog circuits to run John Chowning's FM synthesis method to create a true piano sound.
It sounded more like a real piano than anything that didn't have actual strings. Never went out of tune.
They put a tone control on it so I could roll off highs to make it sound closer to a Rhodes. Not identical, but it could do piano sounds the Rhodes could absolutely not do.
I traded the Rhodes with a guy who had a Boogie Bodies birdseye maple guitar I wanted.
I found a bit of fault with the Rhodes action on rapidly repeating notes. The "bounce" of the keys made me hit the next note with the key still on its way up or, even worse, on its second bounce going down.
I went digital around 1990 and didn't miss either the Rhodes or the Kustom.
My dad owned a Hammond, but he had the H series, not the B or C. Still a fine instrument but lacked the growl of the B-3 through a Leslie 147.
