UTILIZATION

All functions are easily accessible (no menus!)
Many possibilities for the choice of sound and to vary the techniques of play
Instrument rich and complex ... necessary learning, the use is not really immediately!
Instrument it is impossible to go around

SOUNDS

The archetype of the Hammond, the same as a B3, C3, RT3 or D100.

For classical, jazz, rock, reggae, R & B, blues ...

A versatile instrument

Note: Each organ has its own sound, because of the age of the component of the state of the keyboards, the type of lamps, etc. ...

OVERALL OPINION

For me it's great organ.
(However, I take off 2 points for the connection because it's really simple ... no soldering iron required if the organ is not changed.)

It is also the organ standard. When you know a console Hammond ABC type, they all know! available to order and the sound has hardly changed during the life of the instrument (from 1955 to 1975) and this whatever the model, as long as it is an A100, B3, C3, RT3 or D100.
We can not say the same electronic keyboards, and whatever the brand!
