We moved your post to the Montage forum as you're likely to reach more Montage owners here than in the reface forum. For those not as ancient as you (or I) you might want to link to an example of that sound. While I remember the song, I cannot recall the sound - what electronic piano was used? Wurlitzer or something else? A Hohner Pianet?

By the way i am only 69 and still playing. Still have the b3 and rhodes 73 but dont carry around those anymore. The montage is usually smarter than i am.

The montage is usually smarter than i am.

And it probably sounds better too. 😀

(Both of which are true for me as well.)

In the 1970s, I had a Rhodes for about a month. I couldn't play it well because you needed to hit it really hard to get a quick attack time. I sold it to a guy who showed up with a wrist brace on. I asked him how he hurt his wrist and he said, "Playing the piano." I hope he didn't hurt himself even more with the Rhodes. I took the money from selling the Rhodes and bought a Wurlitzer instead, which worked great for me, except for how every now and then a reed would break, and it'd take the next 45 minutes for me to open up the Wurlitzer, swap a new reed in, and then tune the reed by filing lead off the end of it, trying to be careful not to let pieces of the lead bridge the gap between the reed and the pickup that surrounded it, because there was a pretty high voltage between the reed and the pickup, which created a shock hazard I had to be careful about. What a nuisance!

I'm 70. I'm happy I can carry myself around these days.

The Hohner Pianet, ah yes, you can start with a Wurlitzer sound and tweak it... one of the sounds that the other specialist and I find extremely useable for this type of Electric piano, strangely enough, is the FM-X Wurlis: "FM Wr 2" for example. The tremolo is on MW and Super Knob gives brighter sharper sound. They have a very playable character and should work well substituting for a Pianet sound.

I would probably also layer a rhodes. Since I'm not a "purist" when it comes to doing covers, I'll most often get something "in the ballpark". But if you're more of a purist - you can also get a sample library then convert it to Yamaha's format (currently requiring commercial 3rd-party software).

http://www.jensensamples.com/o3.php This is a fairly inexpensive sample library. Limited velocities. Limited channels (1=mono). Limited range - but should be fine.

Not exactly the same beast (the "T") - and not sure if this format converts over (similar cost):

https://puremagnetik.com/products/modelt-hohner-pianet-ableton-live-pack

I do not think Nord's format is one that can be converted - but here's the page

http://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-libraries/nord-sample-library-archive/acousticelectric-pianos/hohner-pianet-n

A bit pricier model T - but with lots of different samples (muted, short notes, long notes) seems to have more attention to detail

http://dulcitone1884.virb.com/prepared-pianet

Another set

http://www.tronsonic.com/products/stoner-planet-t

A free set (also a CP80 and Wurlitzer EP200) these are user sampled by the website owner not commercial samples - see http://www.sullivang.net/hohner-pianet-t

http://www.sullivang.net/sample-files
Note: only two velocities according to the webpage

Another page which utilizes above sample http://criticalvibrations.com/homeplanet-electric-piano-free-ableton-live-instrument/

Note: according to http://www.hallofelectricpianos.co.uk/whoplayed.html "She's Not There" features the Hohner Pianet Model C. This is, according to Wikipedia, closer to the Model N than Model T.
