Electric Piano
Also called: Rhodes, Wurlitzer
A soft, bell-like keyboard that sounds like warm evening light.
1 · Hear it
Listen twice: once alone, once with the band. The second one is how you'll actually hear it in songs.
2 · What it actually is
Hammers hit metal tines instead of strings, and a pickup turns that into a signal.
Its job
Holds chords without crowding the mix.
Listen for
A bell-ish shimmer with a gentle wobble.
You've heard it in: Neo-soul, 70s soft rock, lo-fi beats.
