Diversi

Has anyone in this forum ever played one of these?  I had someone try to sell me on this today and wondered what you all thought of it?

its a good replacement for the hammond but how ever some of the things dont quite match up the same as a hammond. i.e. u can have the bass althe way out n play softly but u wont hear anything. On a Hammond u do that n all u get is bass

I played one when I went back home for the convocation.  I like some things about it, for example it was very LOUD and BASSY!  You could adjust some of the quicks of the original Hammond, for example the key click and leakage.  The feel was very nice as well, it was a very comfortable organ to play.

Complaints?  Well, not as warm as an authentic Hammond.  Still sounded very good, and very much like a Hammond, but it wasnt as warm.  Also, how you switch between groups of drawbars was confusing, and akward.  

In this order, is what I'd prefer:

1.  Hammond that's been taken care of and maintained
2.  New B3
3.  Diversi
4.  Hammond that's not been taken care of

Whether or not to add the XB3 to the list depends on how bad shape the non-maintained B3 is in

nothing replaces a vintage hammond organ......  bottom line........
