Guide to Electric Pianos, Organs, and Other Vintage Keyboards

Thanks to modern digital sampling, musicians and songwriters now have available to them, at reasonable cost, the sounds of vintage instruments that would otherwise be hard to find and expensive to acquire. In order to use these sounds authentically in my own demos, I've done a bit of research into the electric pianos, organs and other keyboards that were used during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, including who used them and what recordings they can be heard on.

While it's not about songwriting per se, I'm sharing this information on Better Songwriting as it may be helpful when the time comes to record demos of your songs or perform them live.
