Clunky, not at all. Different, definitely. My limited experience (2 weeks)
with my Electro has suprised me with how close Clavia has reproduced the
playing experience of the electromechanical keyboards. It took me about 5
minutes to acclimate myself to the non-drawbar approach of the Electro. You
can do anything with the virtual drawbars that one can do on a Hammond
