Subject:Re: B4 vs. E3?

Hi Darcy

My experience with B4 II leaves me with at least two observations. I don't like the chorus/vibrato (imo Nord does it better) and the B4 for some reason to me sounds like a recording of an organ, and not a living, breathing Hammond. I think you'd want to have a close listen to the B4. Are there demo versions available? In any event, the Nord C1 I'm using really works for me.

I had an Electro 2 rack and the acoustic pianos were unacceptable, although I enjoyed the Wurli and Rhodes. I imagine the new Nords have upgraded their pianos as this was a common complaint. Are they going to be as good as Ivory?...I have my doubts.

Hopefully you can wait until you hear the E3 pianos before you commit to spending the cash.
