B3, Yes, I totally agree with everything that everyone says about them and if he was auditioning to replace Mr. Lord I'd be dragging him kicking and screaming to Hammond-UK to get one.
However, He currently has a
Yamaha EL90 which he describes as "top of the range, latest technology" which, to be fair, it was when he bought it...
It sounds like this, (but this is not him playing it).
It does have MIDI so an option is to keep it and add a module like a Roland Integra-7 that has every sound Roland every produced all in one box, but I just know it would all end up too complex for him to just sit down and play and I'd be round there every week explaining how to work it yet again...
Looking at the Roland range, their organs seem to start at £2500 for which you get very little, up to £25,000 for that AT-900. But you can get realy good sound modules for way less than £1000...
What to do..
