Subject:Re: An Open Invitation/the HAMMOND "PERSPECTIVE"

A BIG part of the sound has to do with the attack of the keyboard. The
new B3 uses "bussbars", similar to the original which triggers the
sounds at different times as the key travels down. That adds a LOT to
the authentic sound and "thunk" to the notes. What most people are
complaining about is that Hammond finally solved their awful tuning
problems which caused harmonic beating when using a real Leslie of
Motion Sound product, and why they won't upgrade their XK2 with that
technology. To include their new keyboard bussbar feature may be too
expensive for the low-end market.

Hammond-Suzuki's website looks like something done by a
developmentally disabled 8 year old and there's really no information
on why it would cost so much more than any other digital clone. It
does look like a beautiful piece of furniture though.

Why is it an incredible feat of engineering? What is different about
it than any other clone?
