Hi Chas,

Correct assessment (theatre organ kind of guy) although I love Jazz as well (was very into Jazz while at the Academy).

Now, the B3 is such a versatile instrument that it can be used for about any kind of genre of music. In fact, a friend of mine has one and he plays nothing but theatre and the B3 does an outstanding job.

The Nord C does sound great but I'm worried about being left in the cold when something happens to it. In a way I am kinda forced to get whatever is represented in the Far East. So Roland would be a good bet as there's a Roland Music Instruments HQ in Bangkok which, once I am across the border, is only a 50-minute flight away.

Have you received yours yet? I don't think that I read on SZ that you have unless I missed that thread.

Distance has its advantages... and disadvantages. But, yeah, it'd be great to meet with some of you guys; you, Captain Russ, Richard, Squeak,... I think that you and Captain Russ should meet. Who knows, you two might even start a band. LOL
