Thats why I just buy it if I like it. But then again I ponder some things too long and there gone when I get there. So its about the same as you flame.

But indeed, very nice reedy organ. The air pump noise is grand and give it the real juice sound.

Good deal! A guy in my band bought a Hammond Organ (similar to the b3 but smaller and with internal lesile) for $20 at a garage sale! He cleaned it up and it sounds amazing! I'm sooo jealous. Now I constantly watch garage sales just in case ;) However, my Native Instruments B4 does the job quite well and weighs a little bit less ;)

no, you can't. But Native Instruments did a fantastic job reproducing the sound. I can usually get it to sound really good, however sometimes it seems to be missing some minor overtones in the chords. But, I still use it for recording purposes. Trying to mic a real leslie cab isn't exacty easy ;) Not to meantion lugging my gear over to my buddy's house to record. Still, you can beat the analog, tonewheel hammond :)

That's awesome! Kinda like a harmonium you don't have to pump - way easier! By the way, I just have to interject here, that when you guys get talking, us poor Yanks have no idea what you're talking about! It's starting to sound all Trainspotting in here!
