Keyboard and Synthesizers
"Actual sounds are running out," says, Rick Wakeman, Yes keyboards player and solo album star. Rick feels that traditional instruments like the piano have just about had their day; they've been played to death. He thinks he can find the lost chord and that his new $20,000 custom Moog synthesizer is what he'll play it on once he finds it.

"Actual sounds are running out," says, Rick Wakeman, Yes keyboards player and solo album star. Rick feels that traditional instruments like the piano have just about had their day; they've been played to death. He thinks he can find the lost chord and that his new $20,000 custom Moog synthesizer is what he'll play it on once he finds it. "You can program it to record sounds and all sorts of things," he says. "A piano is a piano and that's that. As far as keyboards go, the Moog is the only instrument that's expanding. It's a fight to keep up with the new things happening. I don't think that the music becomes too scientific, because the person still has to do the programming." Mozart was not available for comment.
