^ ^^ I have noticed over the last few years of seeing bands play live that Nord keyboards seem to have become pretty ubiquitous amongst more ‘musically serious’ groups. Pretty often as a sole keyboard, as they seem to be able to pack just about everything into one box.

Don't think I have seen anyone with a C2D, though.

Yes, you can get VST Hammond organ emulations. I've played a lot of them (with two MIDI keyboards) - nope, doesn't cut it at all. ;-)

Have a look here. £2,500. Money well spent.

Aye, Nord instruments are remarkable, and I must have one someday! 

Alas, I am but a humble prog bassist who only makes clumsy chordal sounds on keyboards!! LOL

Well, Jon Lord might have been "the Zen archer of the Hammond organ", but my money is on Keith Emerson. I can vaguely follow what Keith was doing (yes, I know, L100 and not B3) and the man was simply a genius.

this is a Hammond B3 with extensions; for the bass pedals she does for example use sampled acoustic bass, and there's sampled piano and vibraphone in her Hammond as well. what I especially love in this video is the communication between the two players.

The solo in Quill's Sursum Corda that closes off side A of that album is currently my favorite alongside Uriah Heep's July Morning.

Lots to pick from, including Emerson, Wakeman, Banks etc.!

My personal favorite is Wakeman's blazing solo in "Roundabout," Bruford once called Wakeman "the best Hammond player in the UK" in an interview.   That solo he plays is astounding! 

Go for it!  
 
I agree !!!

Responding to my 2010 post in 2018!!  Now THAT'S progressive!!  Clap

No, that wasn't a Hammond. Per George Duke, the band was in a church somewhere and Zappa told him to play the church's pipe organ.

I love Bumpin’ on Sunset    ......such a blissful ride


What a great cover, Jimmy Smith should never be left out of any conversation concerning the b3.
