A real Hammond without a Leslie: http://www.b3hammond.com/images/organmain.jpg Depending on the size of your screen, the picture might not display the original size of the organ. A Roland GR-55, is just a small guitar floorboard, in addition to the floor board you need a guitar, it provides the Hammond and a Leslie: https://static.roland.com/assets/images/products/main/gr-55-bk_top_main.jpg There are keyboard based Hammond replacements available, too. If you want something close to e.g. a Bernie Worrell alike organ sound, a modern keyboard or guitar synth with emulations, is easier to transport than a Hammond. Isn't it? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
