Yes, a Hammond is a Hammond, alright...425 lbs. of furniture, and most, if not all, in the listening audience couldn't tell it from a well done clonewheel that weighs less than the music rack on a B-3.

Ian you are so wrong and Yamatized.....
nothing sounds like a B3 w/a 147 Leslie.....everything else is part of the GREATNESS that is the HAMMOND Sound!
Words such as these coming from a true Korgian devotee, Donny...I'm impressed. I think you owe it to yourself to buy a B-3 and start carting it around, and use it to hold up your little Korg.
In the real world, most of the audience wouldn't know a real B-3 from a good clonewheel, even though a Hammond is a Hammond. In fact, in a blind test, most of us who even played Hammonds for many years, would have a tough time discerning the genuine article from one of the more recent clones.
I'm just glad that lugging around that big piece of furniture is a thing of the past. My Tyros4 does an exemplary job of mimicking a Hammond and it's
only 390 lbs
lighter!
