Hammond Alternative

[Adam L]

I currently have a Hammond T200 but need something smaller and portable for gigging. Other than the Hammond XK and Roland VK series which cost above £1300, could anyone point me to a less expensive alternative I could purchase that has a similar sound?
Ta very much

The ESQ1 Ensoniq synthesizer can duplicate the hammond sound and a lot more besides. It wouldn't satisfy a conneseur(??), but it you can find em for about 100 bux. Very portable too. It is a single 61 keyboard, but has midi, so you can hook it up to other things.
