Subject:Had the chance to play a tocotta tonight

We did a guys night out thing tonight, and went to an open mic thing about an hour and a half from home tonight. I brought my Korg CX3 along, but when we got there, they had an old crumar tocatta there. ALthough I would have been a lot more comfortable (and better sounding probably) I couldn't resist the urge to play this old thing. I've bid on them on e-bay and they always went a bit out of my spending limit, so here was my chance.
The thing that surprised me was how this little guy cut through, it really screamed. On leslie slow I actually enjoyed playing it quite a bit. The fast leslie was pretty bad though, and I think the perc might have been shot on this particular one. I really missed having drawbars though. All in all it was a good night, and I think I got wanting one of these things out of my system. It's cousin, the Traveler just sits here, so chances are this would have sit here too.
