The best "Hammond Sound " comes from a Hammond Organ or a Hammond Keyboard .
No doubt !
Just like the question about the "Piano Sound "
The best "Piano Sound" comes from a real accoustic piano .
No doubt !

Digital instruments can come close but never can be better !

Remember Hammond is not Hammond anymore but Hammond/Susuki. You have to listen to the models you are interested in in person if possibel. Or go by the multitude of online demos and take a shot. Returns are possible. They all do a good job but have subtle differences, some inportant to some players, I think some players get crazy with the nitpicking of the clones.
No two Hammonds ever sounded exactly the same and who knows what a new one sounded like ??

Been using a little 61 Hammond SK1 over a piano for 5 years, with great success. I use a Motion Sound top box with it. Still occasionally use a real B for sentimental reasons (and, the club let's me store it there), and a 147 RV, but the drawbars, WEIGHT and availability of other sounds and good left hand bass access makes this a really good combo.

Works for me!

You might want to add the new Yamaha YC61 to that short list (or possibly the 73 note version if you want to play electric pianos quite a bit on it). It’s getting some pretty good reviews...

DIKI i heard some demoes of the Yc61 , yamaha always excelled in pianos but not so much in organs . i have the GENOS one of the best arranger in the market if not the best one , but not a sattisfactory hammond sound and leslie.
I Was not impressed also from YC61 in hammond sounds,
CRUMAR mojo is the real deal in hammond sound as a low price clone and the K PRO is also interesting with fantastic leslie sim and very good hammond sound but screaming too much in the upper octavs and the price is twice than the mojo.

Anyone consider the Studiologic Numa Compact 2X. Piano, Organ w/drawbars, Synth, 88 keys and 16 lobs. Got some decent reviews.
Affordabel too. $699 Just ordered one for quick rehersals and to use as a controller for my Roland BK7M.

I agree with Capt Russ -- although I have no experience with the Crumar, my SK1 offers a lot and the traditional Hammond sound is great. And as mentioned by deb, if you want the best Hammond sound, it's most likely to be offered by a Hammond product. Haven't seen the SK pro yet but watched many videos of Jim Alfredson checking it out, and it was enough to convince me to upgrade from my SK1.
