[musictlk] Two Questions concerning Keyboards

[Joshua Lester]

Ms Mentink, my personal favorite brand of digital pianos, is the Rowland, FP4.
I'd recommend the Rowland, for any church, because if you like the
Hammond Organ sound, they're the only keyboard company, that is
allowed to use the Hammond sound.
Blessings, Joshua
