Ron Mael and his RMI Electra-piano, 1975
“When he played with Halfnelson in the early ’70s, Ron Mael was behind a Farfisa organ. During the ’80s, he played a JP-8 Roland Synthesizer (Ron flipped the letters on the instrument which became a “Ronald”) but during Sparks’ Island years, it was the Ron’s RMI Electra-piano which gave this unique percussive power that drove Sparks’ songs on.
Ron Mael played the RMI Electra-piano on Sparks’ “Kimono My House” and “Propaganda” albums. The piano intro of “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both of Us” is characteristic of the RMI Electrapiano sound.” — source
