Thanks Randy!

I used Leslie SPA-150R by Hammond Suzuki. I think it's not sold in the U.S. and
Europe, but it's sold in Japan. This is one of the best amps I tried. It's a
full range speaker. Here is the
link. http://www.suzuki-music.co.jp/search/N_002308.html It's 150W, but it can
get really loud because of the sound pressure level. Plus, this is the same
height as organ benches, so I usually sit on it when I play. I don't have to
bring a bench any more. If you cannot get this, I recommend QSC K10 (or K8,
K12). I tried Motion Sound amps and Barbetta amps, and I couldn't get what I was
looking for. By the way, I used summed Mono because I don't like to bring two
amps every gig.

Hammond SK1/2, Nord C1/C2, and Mojo have the Fatar keys. The keys are the same,
but I think the spring is different. If you play well maintained vintage Hammond
organs with a new felt, they are comfortable to play. I didn't like Korg CX3/BX3
and Viscount DB5 because these keys were too light. I like the feel of the keys
on Mojo. Nord C2 is pretty nice too. I usually lower the trigger point because
if you have vintage Hammond organs with a new felt and you press the keys about
7mm, they start hitting bus bars. To me, the higher trigger point is a little
bit high, so I make it lower. You can do it with Nord C2 and Mojo.

Also, sometimes cables change sound too. I use Monster SP1000. I tried different
cables of Monster and other brands, and Monster SP1000 gives me what I was
looking for.

Yeah, nice job Hal. This instrument is getting so much buzz, and sounds so good
- I'm getting really close to pulling the trigger on one myself. What kind of
amplification do you use? One other question... how does the touch on the Mojo
compare to the various other clones? I'm using a Korg CX3 and NE2 right now.
Last week I tried a Hammond Sk-1 and didn't like the touch at all compared to
what I'm used to - way too "resistant". Do you think you can describe how the
touch of the Mojo fits with other brands?
