Subject:Re: Just got my Hammond Sk1 - initial reaction/problem?

The Electro 3 is easily the best keyboard I have ever owned, and is as close as I am ever likely to need to a real Wurly. In my band I am still using the VK-7 for organ sounds (simply because I often need to use organ and piano at the same time) but the Nord's organ and other piano sounds are amazing too. Expect to hear them on my solo recordings...

true, Simon, but the VK-7 "was" a mid-90's keyboard. Clones have come a long way in 15 years. Enjoying your Electro 3, I assume?
