Very good, especially kicking too! I miss the pedals  If and when I retire, I think I might get a TOTL organ and drive my wife crazy Zuki, there is a lot of pleasure and satisfaction to be had in playing and mastering this instrument. On a personal level, I only like Hammond-type organs playing jazz/rock/gospel, but I imagine those that like clasical/theatre/pop organ have a similar fondness for this type of instrument. If, however, your wife is NOT an organ aficionado, then you're correct; it will drive her crazy a lot quicker than say a piano or arranger keyboard. But hey, wives come and go (ask Don), music is forever. Hint: In case you're somewhat serious, if you're of the 'Hammond' persuasion, don't get a 'vintage' Hammond (unless you live close to a Hammond technician/repairman who's in good health and has good 'long-life' genes). Also, your next wife (yes, there will be another one if you get an organ) should be severely hearing-impaired. This also applies if you should decide to take up accordion (or bagpipes, or drums, or violin). In conclusion, take the organ fund and use it to take your wife on a nice world cruise instead. chas

The 3 keyboards in the video are inexpensive old keyboards or midi controllers. The top one being the Roland D10, the middle one Axiom 61, and at the bottom is the Korg 01W. VArranger allows an organ setup; two manuals and foot pedals. One can have nice organ setup with vArranger using inexpensive keyboard controllers. I like all types of organs; Pipe, theater, and of course the Hammond. I am no expert on the Hammond but there is something special about it. I have only virtual emulation programs such VB3, B4ii, B5, NI Vintage Organ, and some others. My black minister friend who was once a Hollywood recording artist says the programs sound good, but he will always add, "There is nothing like the real deal." Very good, especially kicking too!
