Subject:Diversi Organ Vs Hammond
I have owned and played a Hammond B3 for over thirty years. I have also owned and tried
many B3 Clones including the XK3. Today I went to the Hammond Organ Store in Woodlyn,
PA to look at their new Diversi Organ. They are sold out completely of every model they
have but they had Joey DeFrancesco's organ there that he is currently touring with in the
U.S. as he is in Italy right now. You would not believe the sound of this organ. It was
hooked up to a motion sound KP200S and a Motion Sound SW-15 subwoofer. The leslie
simulation is so good I could not believe my ears. The organ sounds better than any real
B3 I have ever played. It blows the Hammond XK3's out of the water you cannot even
compare them. I purchased/ordered the DV-Solo on the spot. It uses the exact same
sound engine as their full console organ. I have always been a loyal Hammond player and
when Joey D switches from Hammond to something else you better believe the "sound" has
to be better and it is. There are (5) different Hammond Cloned organs in the Diversi and it
will blow your mind. The physicist in Sweden that developed this technology should get
world honors. If you get a chance to hear the new Diversi Do Not Miss it. Go to the Diversi
website and you can get the schedule where Joey D will be playing it for the next several
months. Finally after many many years a portable keyboard that sounds like a REAL
ORIGINAL HAMMOND ORGAN with a leslie simulation that is just stunning! Not like the
Hammond/Suzuki Hammonds at all! John Gualtieri Garnet Valley, PA.
