I think that, just like Rhodes, or clavinets, or Wurli’s etc., you stand a MUCH better chance of getting a clone to sound close to the real thing if you have ever played the real thing in the first place..!
Fascinating stuff from both of you about some of the greats. Sad I missed much of it except on vinyl!
My B3 days were a mixed blessing... LOVED the sound, HATED moving it! Damn thing nearly killed me on several occasions 😂
