Yes, that is interesting. It certainly would not have added to the weight.
And would have made it quite attractive (to even me). It would not be in
competition to the Electro as the second manual alone is the main
distinction.hmmmm

Hi Barry,

>You know, thinking about this, I realized that the C3 is really cool
looking, but it does seem to be a little expensive for what it can do. I
look at it this way, for 3 grand, you could get 2 Hammond XK-1's and stack
them - with real drawbars, incredible Hammond sounds, combo organ sounds,
and even some mediocre piano sounds.

This is true of ALL the dual-manual clones. For the price of my BX-3, I
could have bought a CX-3 and a Doepfer waterfall keyboard (which wasn't
available at the time, BTW), and pocketed a good bit of change. When someone
buys a dual-manual organ these days, cost-to-performance ratio isn't the
deciding factor; convenience and ergonomics are more likely reasons. Dual
Manual sales are comparatively low, too, so the costs of making and selling
them are higher.

That said, I *do* wonder why Clavia pulled the EP and Clav sounds from the
C3. Thus, it's not a dual-manual Electro -- it's both more, and less.

Regards,

-BW
