Usually I hear that tune on the organ, but it has a nice resonance on the piano. smiley - smiley

Lovely indeed - is the 'voice' on the keyboard 'piano with resonance' or is it a more exotic choice? Sounds a bit like my favourite 'Fantasy' voice smiley - biggrin

That's it, SashaQ. On my Yamaha it's 005. smiley - smiley I don't like the plain 'concert piano' setting. It lacks the resonance of the regular piano, of which there is one in the same room, so why bother? smiley - winkeye

Yes, I was thinking plain piano wouldn’t be your first choice of voice given that you have an actual piano to play! smiley - winkeye

It has more warmth than many settings, but it doesn't sound like something played on an electronic keyboard.

But it wasn't just the setting. I like the tune, of course, but it was also played respectfully and with feeling. You can't get better than that. <ok.

Thanks, Paul. smiley - smiley That means something.

I was trying to explain to Elektra the other day that instrumental music sounds better to me if it flows like a monologue, as if the instrument were speaking.
