Congrats on your new purchase Russ. I have had my XK Pro System / Leslie 3300 for about a year now and love that I can fit the entire organ and Leslie in the back of my SUV. Wait until you get into editing the tone wheel sets; pretty cool.
But speaking of melodicas, did you happen to notice the new
Hammond 44 ? Just last month I purchased a
Suzuki Pro37 Melodion and it is a lot of fun to play. I use it in my jazz group as well as the dance/party band I am in called
The Modulators . The neat thing about the Hammond 44 is that it has 44 keys and an internal microphone.
