Yeah, and I understand and respect that. I was just pointing out that I'd rather hear a good performance on a student violin than a poor performance on a Stradivarius. Didn't mean to take the thread in a different direction. Sometimes a thread will trigger a parallel but different thought. But to your point, yes, the Hammond is always going to trump anything else for it's own sound. However, the T4 didn't sound that bad and might not even be noticed by the average Joe Blow non-musician in the audience (look at how many people LIKED his performance in the Youtube comments section). AND, who (other than me) is to say I'm right in my observations. Anyhoo, bottom line; the Hammond sounds better.
