Yes. And in a way that even my Wurlitzer ep200 can’t match. It’s close, but despite the Wurly’s late night vibes, still no cigar.
It’s such a joy! However, I think that it’s not just about the key weight. I think two other things play a subtle but significant role:
- the vibration of the whole body of the instrument; the key action causes it to vibrate deep within and throughout, which excites the air in a way that feels “whole” and “present” and which speakers never quite achieve
- the infinite depths of decaying harmonics gently calling your attention like Sirens on the rocks
(Note, I’m a dreadful keyboard player. I don’t practice scales or learn other peoples’ music. I would noodle my own meandering jams for hours at a time on my parents’ piano, and later got my own Wurley… playing it pretty much the same way, but with more blues)
