I"m looking to buy a quality portable dual manual organ for blues and rock and have become fascinated with HX3-based clones like Uhl x4-2 and Mag C2. As mentioned in another thread, I"m a pretty decent blues piano player who"s decided to learn organ. ð³ My concern with Uhl or Mag is that they seem to be quite rare here in the U.S. and may be problematic if they require service or support. Am I crazy for considering these? Obviously, it"s nerve wracking to potentially pay big bucks for an instrument I"ve never auditioned. But here in KC I don"t have access to any of the likely alternatives either (Viscount, Mojo, Hammond, etc.), so whatever I buy, it will likely be sight unseen.
That said, any feedback or experiences with the Mag or Uhl rigs would be appreciated. Or if you think there are better alternatives I"m all ears.
