My first compact digital organ

This organ is the ball, I love this organ, I wanted like what my dad had that was a Hammond C3, but couldn't afford it. So I first purchased this (I now also have a Hammond SK2, which in my opinion is better than this).

It has lot of controllability and lots of tweaking to be had. I again purchased this second hand, in pristine condition. It now sits in my main studio at work, its also taken out to gigs regularly.
