I think it's all in how you voice it. Some VV's sound more wurli-ish and others more dyno-ish.

Thanks!

@@ChristianBurrola May be. Also keep in mind that this is the passive version of the Vintage Vibe piano, without the pre amp. The way you record and mix the sound of the piano also makes a difference.

Yes I would agree lol

Agreed, if I want a wurli I'll get a wurli. I want my rhodes/vv to sound like a rhodes.

Thank you! Glad that you are enjoying the music.

@@DoykinMusic heck yeah Asen this composition is too good ! starting my day with this jam and my morning coffee 🎶😊

Love my Harmonium. I used it for some film scoring tracks and on one jazz album

Thank you!

Disagree with you there. Rhodes sound better to me. there is a funny attack on these keyboards. Get your old Rhodes serviced maybe.

You have two Rhodes and you haven’t heard of a Wurlitzer? Doubt it...

@@rupertgillies447 what are you talking about? This is a vv tine piano, not a wurlitzer

Thanks for listening!

Thank you!

Thank you for listening!

Thanks

Thank you. Yes, some of the harmonies for the first part of the tune are influenced by Bill Evans' tune Time Remembered .

Thank you. Yes. Definitely the vibe of this tune is influenced by Dave Grusin and the sound of his label GRP. Definitely a lot of Chick Corea inspirations as well.

Thank you.

Thank you! Yes, I'm currently redesigning my website and uploading a lot of new music and media. It should be ready by first week of April. In the mean time besides youtube, you are welcome to check out my Facebook Page:. I regularly upload short music clips there. facebook.com/adoykin/

Thank you! The VV piano has more responsive action. I think it is just a better instrument as a music instrument . But then it is twice as expensive . That being said , the Valente piano is great electric piano with unique character.

Thank you. I use a custom made soft case from studioslips.com. I transport it to gigs with a car. It's still a little heavy, but totally doable by one person.

I didn't request anything specific when I ordered my VV piano. The action and responsiveness of the key bed is on a whole other level in comparison to the Rhodes. Recently I went to the VV factory for tune up and the master technician did some additional tweaks to the action and tines placement which improved the overall fell even further.

@@DoykinMusic I have no doubts the key bed in the VV feels so great. They take pride in their instruments and especially how they take care of regulating the action to standards that are close to an acoustic piano action regulation. I've played some beaten up old Rhodes pianos and they still felt great because a real action with hammers is a very expressive thing. It would be a bit risky to order a US product from Bulgaria, but on the other hand all people are praising it and I'm experienced in regulating piano actions, etc., so it won't be a problem for me to regulate and maintain it myself if needed. A bit of a shameless self-advertising here but I made my own DIY MIDI-controller from an old grand-piano action by installing optical sensors and microelectronics to it, check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcV0h6h-mqfYYIE.html Thanks again for your answer and cheers! :)

Not really, sorry. To tell you the truth I composed this tune really quick on the day I decided to do this video, five years ago and then never played it again in other setting. I don't even remember it myself. I will have to go back to this clip and transcribe myself in order to recreate the composition and write a chart.

+1970piano Thanks. The size and weight of the 64 is perfect for me, since I take my VV piano to gigs. Playing in band setting I never feel the need for larger key bed. The 73 model is great too, the extra keys in the low register could be useful , but it gets too heavy and large for moving around. For this clip I plugged the VV piano directly to my Apogee Quartet audio interface and recorded with Logic and a few Universal Audio plug-ins.

amazing playing and sound! I'm thinkin of buying a VVP (maybe the 73 classic passive... but also the 64 is cool) to leave at home my Rhodes markII (toooo heavy, and needs restoration). sadly I can't try it because in Italy nobody knows the instrument. how do you amplify it in live situation? with a good preamp and some stompboxes or a multieffect do you think it can go direct? thankyou

thanks for your answer! ;-)

Thank you. For this recording I used the pre amps of my sound interface, Apogee Quartet. For life performances I use small guitar tube amp. It's sounds pretty loud and punchy. The bigger the amp the better, but then it gets heavy to move around the city for gigs. I use bunch of stomp boxes sometimes and it sounds great, but not for this recording.

May i ask, which guitar tube amp you use for live performances with your VVP?

Thank you. Yes, this is the passive model.

Thanks. Chick has been a great inspiration to me since my teenage years.

Thanks! Yes, I plug in all sorts of pedals to the VV piano. In this particular case I used vibrato plug-in on my recording software.

Thx for the answer ! And, do you have a gig bag? is it easy to transport for gigs?

I have a gig bag from studioslips.com kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gslioJeizNC7mI0.html It's much lighter than Rhodes but you still need a car to transport it to gigs.

Yes, the third part of the tune is in 7/8 meter

No speaker or amp. Direct to my Apogee Quartet audio interface.

Not necessarily. In this particular recording I don't use an amp. I go direct to my Apogee audio interface . It's a matter of contextual preference. A tube amp can add punch, color, etc. It's just different.

Asen Doykin ok thanks. Sounds great 👍

What song are you covering in this? Is this Herbie Hancock?

@@robertjameson4101 That's my own composition

Asen Doykin damn, that’s awesome.

Not for now, sorry. Interesting enough, I was at the Vintage Vibe factory last week and talked to Chris (the founder) about the passive VV pianos. Apparently they made only five like mine: 64 keys passive VV pianos, and then stoped making them. May be if you contact them they will do one for you by order, not sure.

Not really. I just wrote it quickly when I got the piano. It's not even notated . Fun times with the VV piano.

Depending on model and options. Check prices at www.vintagevibe.com

+feLine hAru Yes.
