Subject:Re: affordable hammond midi controller?

I would also recommend against any Hammond-Suzuki keyboard: their midi
implementation is all but straightforward and you would end up
filtering everything but the pedal and the keys themselves to map it
to the Hammond emulator (or any other VST).

I'm no expert there but, on past reviews, I would probably consider an
old korg.
