The closest I can describe it is like the piano at the beginning of
Isaac Hayes' I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself off of The Isaac Hayes Movement. Would greatly appreciate anyone who could help me out or at least send me in the right direction.

I don't know what model or type of piano was used. But that was 1970, recorded in Memphis at Stax. He arranged with Dale Warren rather than David Porter on that LP.

I might hit up Google and see what model of piano Isaac Hayes favored around 1970, and by extension look for listings/photos of what Stax Records had in their studio in 1970. Then if you can find that or at least get some clues it should be easier to fin a sampled piano or piano VST that is comparable.

I love Hayes/Porter/Stax/Hi Records/Memphis soul, so I'll post anything I might find, I always enjoy digging for info on those old labels/studios.

:hmmm:

I think green might be right. Thank you by the way, if that's not it it's close enough for what I need. I been wasting my time looking up toy pianos and Burt Bacharach on youtube.
