I'm looking for the keyboard/synth sound for this piece. It sounds like a mix of piano and brass but it may be a synth creation. Any help appreciated

Interesting... i would throw in a bit of steel drum, a bit of organ, brass, maybe some kitchen sink. Wikipedia suggests a clue:
"...Showcasing Kinks' keyboardist Ian Gibbons in a virtuoso performance (emulating a fairground calliope)"

If you make a sample/program please share!

I tried

Vox Organ Level full, 880888138, Vibrato V1, no Leslie, maybe with a very small Phase1 effect
Grand Piano CP80 (electric grand), Level 2 o'Clock

Al the best

Thanks Wolfgang.

A little bit of tweaking with the EQ and some Reverb and it worked a treat.

First rehearsal with new band on Thursday so see what they think.

Kind regards
