mate stubb Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 People must remember that Hammond was not a musician. It's not surprising that he saw the leslie speaker as competition and a threat to his own tone cabinets. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Still can't figure why the RMI hasn't been revisited by some of the clone keys unless it has and I'm not aware of it. Because it's trebuchet worthy. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz+ Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I played a gig for Mrs Wurlitzer (wife of the founders grandson , also a good classical organist) and she said she had never heard of the Wurlitzer electric piano or it's popularity. I was going to post about it but I thought I would get hassles for being too off topic.

richforman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 MOXF has a few very nice Wurli patches imo, the ones I'm using are from the Vintage Keys library of Voices but they use the built-in waveforms and samples.

Because it's trebuchet worthy. Yeah, a couple of people that Synthmuseum.com reference using it was Tony Banks of Genesis and some cat named Rick Wakeman. No names, correct? But, I also see your point. Not sure I could use the sound with anything I play with the current bands I'm in. John Cassetty "there is no dark side of the moon, really.

Pat Azzarello Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They also had a version of the RMI on one of the early Lounge Lizard plug-ins. I think it's been talked about here before, but I believe the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was an RMI, not an acoustic piano, right?

HammondDave Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I always disliked the sound of the RMI. Plus, it was not velocity sensitive.

HammondDave Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It was not until I head this song as a 14 year old that I realized how powerful the Wurlie sound was. [video:youtube] Great clip! Always loved the Faces. Am I crazy, but has Ronnie Wood ever sounded so good? Also love the old Ampeg V4's that Ronnie and Ian are playing through. That's exactly what I used in the 70's.

JeffLearman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 He particularly hated the Leslie too IIRC. A snob indeed! Yeah, for a while he went out of his way to try to prevent Leslies being sold with Hammonds, but eventually gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Absolutely. Hammond would threaten his dealers not to sell Leslies. They did anyway behind his back because the customers demanded them. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that song. Ronnie Lane is the best failed-guitarist-turned-bassist I can think of, (Macca doesn't count). And Ian's Wurly powers that song. I saw the new line-up on TV recently, with Mick Hucknall singing (he was OK), Glen Matlock bass (no comparison with Ronnie) and Ian still there plugging away, but a shadow of his former self. He looked weak and lacked control of his playing. Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 EPs of every variety (Rhodes, Wurli, CP80 and DX Tines) solo, stacked and layered with other sounds will always be my favorite to play. IMO, some of today's facsimiles provide the perfect bundle of joy. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Les Mizzell Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've occasionally discussed the Wurlitzer ... I always thought the definitive "Wurlitzer Band" was Supertramp. Was looking for a good vid of "Bloody Well Right", but: a) appears somebody has done a good job issuing take down notices to any vids of the original group performing the song b) Supertramp without Roger Hodgson isn't really Supertramp and I won't post anything from the lineup without him!
