Thing is, if the majority of the US members of our forum shudder at the thought of a 45 lbs. arranger, what chance does any organ manufacturer have?
And, I'm sorry, but coming from both sides of the Pond, I can say that the US has a MUCH smaller 'collective music making' scene than the EU. We tend to gather less to MAKE music, and concentrate on going out to hear it made by others (usually as an adjunct to the main reason... beer and girls!). What little we do do tends to look for the easy way out. Why bother learning pedals, learning to play it all, when a machine can do it for you? LOL
The American Dream..!
