Subject:RE: Nord - last drawbar & percussion ?

Yes! My point exactly. We need to get up to the level of actually
having a 4 drawbar setup consle organ clone (for less than the price
of a liver transplant, anyway :-), THEN go on from there. How many
of us have to piece together something that "sort of" plays like a
Hammond but the "compromise" balances against the weight/price of the
original.
A recent minor thread indicated a wide support for, say, a 2man
CX-3 (new BX-3) with 4 sets. Historically, though, these 2manual
jobs have been **horribly** overpriced for no apparent reason.

Sometimes I just don't get it.
