Ah, now we get to the heart of the dilemma: Do we make a clone of a B-3, or something "better?" One group of potential buyers want a smaller, lighter B-3 replacement, down to the last detail; the others want either a double-manual organ with enhanced features, or a double manual for occasional organ use, along with its "intended" use as a piano or MIDI master keyboard. Whichever road a manufacturer takes, one (or more) of these groups is likely to be disappointed.
