Thanks. Luckily, the keys don't stick, although sometimes you have to really press the keys to get the note to sound (especially in the lower octaves.) Any advice there?

Sweet Rhodes! I had one of those Suitcases with the amp ... Cleaned it up, fixed a few things, tuned it and traded it back to the guy I got it from for a bedroom set. Thanks! I got it for under $500, which here in NYC is really amazing. It needs some work (a few new tines, tuning, replacing felts, ...

I am hoping for something with the legs and sustain pedal, as thos...

Every place I've lived I've made a space to record in. In each case, there have been challenges and limitations, and in each place I've learned something new as a result. Find a way to record wherever you are, and it'll make you a better engineer in the long run.
