I hate to say it, but if there isn't an ORLA dealer in your area ,
you might have to take a $100 gamble on the return shipping, and try it
for yourself.

The TP80 keybed is available with variations -- probably springs or key
weights -- that can affect the feel of the keyboard. Both the Korg CX-3
and Nord Electro use a TP80 keybed, yet owners claim a difference in the
feel of the keys. I know players who think the TP80 is very close to
the real deal, and others who think it's mile away from a B-3 action.

Also, be aware that the lower manual is a TP100. Some people find that
OK for two-manual organ playing, others don't. YMMV.

Aren't niche markets a hoot? On the one hand, the JamKey seems like a
perfect match for say, VB3 plus a your favorite piano/EP software. All
the necessary controls are there, and the 73-key weighted lower manual
eliminates the complaint about trying to use a dual-manual organ as the
MIDI master.

On the other hand, it's *two thousand freakin' dollars*, and it doesn't
make a sound! :-\
