Whack most of these B3 clones through a REAL 147, and it's pretty hard to tell the difference, IMO.

There is more difference between two B3's of differing vintages and level of upkeep than between a Nord and an XK3, from what I've heard, as long as you bathe them in a tub of Leslie 147!

To sit down and PLAY, well, even Hammond haven't managed to emulate the FEEL of a nicely worn-in original B3's keyboard (I have recently played all the new Hammond clones except the XK1, including the new 'Portable-B' and New B3), so, as far as I am concerned, they ALL are one step removed from totally fooling ME, but step back twenty feet and just LISTEN, as long as you use a 147 or 145, they are ALL good enough for me!

Now if I could only PLAY like Jimmy! (or Tony, or Joey, or....!)
