A place I'm quite familiar (and comfortable) with. Actually, I think Fran is just trying to pull my chain. This is the second post in the last week that's been aimed in my direction. It's okay. I'm happy to see he's thinking about me . As far as the C1 is concerned, I've seen dozens of reviews and all have been not only positive, but actually enthusiastic. I'll start to worry when I see it panned by someone who can actually play an organ (or any other keyboard, for that matter).

Russ (and anyone else needing an inexpensive, well-built, super-stable, flexible, portable, KB stand that will accommodate a large pedalboard (PK7a), I highly recommend the OnStage KS7150.
There is a 2nd-tier accessory, the KSA7500, available for it (29.00) that works but is a little cumbersome. There is also a mic stand accessory made for it, that works but does not extend far enough out from the main stand.

BTW, the Nord C1 was not designed to be used as an occasional extra voice in an arranger setup. I think the design goal was to make a lightweight B3 clone. Therefore it's use would be wherever one would normally use a B3. Since weight seems to be such an issue with arranger players, I doubt if many of you would be humping around a 400lb "B". This instrument is probably impractical to schlep around as the sound source for a single instrument (unless it's your primary instrument). An on-board "organ" voice or even a dedicated organ module would probably be much more practical in an arranger setting.

Fran, since there are only 2 or 3 organ players on this board, it is unlikely that anyone other than these people would be interested in the C1 anyway, so your efforts are being wasted. I suggest you go back to 'ragging' on Yamahas (unless, of course, your post wasn't REALLY about the Nord).
