I agree, but please don't forget that the most important factors are
musician's brain, heart and fingers, that means knowledge of music theory,
practice, styles, stylistics of Hammond playing, feeling, timing, drive,
pure technical skills and many years' experience... Even best equipped B3 is
nothing if combined with unskilled and inexperienced musician, and opposite:
the worse synth emulation of Hammond organ can sound satisfactorily if
played by Emerson or J.S. Just to remind, that musician and music are
everything, used instrument not so much. Nothing against technological
discussions, but sometimes I feel it's too much here...
