My only complaint about Kurzweil is that they always been the most expensive keyboards than any competitor. To make an actual comparasen, would be best to have a Hammond tone wheel organ and Leslie 122 tone cabinet and a Kurzweil next to each other. The playing style is of a Hammond organ player, but I am not convinced that Kurzweil can come close.

@patsaxon There is a video uploaded that does exactly that comparison, with this keyboard - Kurzweil were expensive, but this board only cost 900 euros new (1200 US dollars), and their latest with the same sounds as this one, but with less features, is cheaper still

oysterlovers, I am using your video to practice my technique (and copy yours). Is that a song you are playing (or just a jam)? If it's a song could you give me the name.

Thanks.

@bobspez Hey there - it's just something I created - I'm actually looking for a vocal to go with it - there's a version on soundcloud which you'll be able to jam with, coz it doesn't have the organ lead on it - it's called slow blues mixdown (needs vocal) under the name of oysterlovers.

@oysterlovers I've been jamming with the soundcloud file. Can you tell me what key it's in (C and F chords seem to work)? It's a great song!

[oysterlovers]

@bobspez Hey - the base key that it's in is C, but the verse starts on a G major - so the first chords are ; Intro ; G/E bass ,F - then - Verse ; G , F ,C , G ,F ,C, Am ,G ,F ,C ,Dm7 ,C/E bass,F - F C/E bass Dm C. Then the bridge goes to an Ebmaj7, but you can still solo using the key of C.

An awesome sounding organ is the Wurlitzer 4500 and 4300. The Wurlitzer SpectraTone is crossed over for excellent 2'&4' tibia. There's 8 speaking in the organs with louvers on the top for player rotary sound- best seat in the house. You can get this tone with a Wurli, but you can't get the Wurli tone w/ a Hammond. I love Hammond too, but these mellow tones you're playing are awesome on a Wurlitzer:)

( Oh' that comment I just made was to do with the freakin blowback from a Run Pa' commercial.)

I'm 46 and I'm on youtube more than my `younger family members. Go figure. I want the troops out by a Democrat.

@oysterlovers Thanks for the chords and keys! It's a song that keeps rolling around in my mind. I get lost in it. Beautiful to jam to.
