Subject:Re: Numa, Xk3c, Nord, most authentic?

I feel your pain Brian. I sold my XK1 to get my Stage 88 several years ago. Now I want real drawbars and that "something" that I am missing. I don't like using midi for organ from the Stage. I do like the stage action for EP and piano however. Nowhere around my parts to check out a Numa either I'm afraid. I guess some of us older guys just got spoiled by the real thing for so many years. In the 60's I used to dream about having a portable acoustic piano, thinking it would never happen. Never once did I think of the "B3 sound" being portable.
