i always wanted a rhodes and ended up by pure stroke of luck with a wurly. i would say that i prefer the wurlitzer now after having been able to play both. the 200 A wurlitzer is lighter to haul around than any rhodes and requires less tuning. the downside is that unless it's in showroom condition it's probably very noisy when played through an external amp. if you have the time and money and technical knowledge (or like me, know someone who does) you can fix this easily.

rick wright is/was my biggest influence in terms of style and approach. whenever i decide what type of sound i want i first think of which pink floyd song i heard it in first. i was never able to come close to what i heard in my mind until i bought the nord electro 73. i love it and i can't imagine what i would do without it. since mr. wright passed away recently i suggest you find somebody like me to play in your band and maybe require that they already own an electro

mr. kline summons the devil through his guitar. he achieves the sound you discussed through purely demonic means. at least this is what i've been able to determine

i play piano while whitty plays bass. links the same. we're pretty good
