By far the best organ help on TH-cam. Thanks for the effort and help.
I think there is no objective "Hammond B3" sound, and definitely no objective clone. The B3, M3, and the Leslie cabinets of the day all contributed to a loose collection of tunes and sounds which we lump into the "Hammond sound". Honestly, the actual rotating Leslie speaker had more to do with the "B3 sound" than anything, and how it was mic'd and recorded in the studio also played a huge part in its sound, as well as the skills of the player using it and the organ. And yet, even if you lugged a real B3 and Leslie on stage, it's going to sound different every time due to the fact that the organ is being run through a speaker moving and pushing sound through air rapidly in different directions - and every room is different too. All of this to say that there is no holy grail, other than that feeling you get when you are right next to a Leslie and feeling the power as you pull the stops and the rotary is kicking on and off on your whim. Everything else is just a mirror reflection, not the real thing. The attempt to capture that in a purely electronic circuit has kept players going to the latest and greatest attempt like a carrot on a stick for 40 years and counting, but it will never happen. Just find an organ and fx sound that you are happy with for what it is today - because unless you have a crew and a truck, the real thing ain't coming to your gig, and no synth or module will ever compare fully. And last but not least, if you are a good player you can make even mediocre organ patches sound good, as good as it can for being a patch, anyway. It ain't the golf club, it's the swing.
Having worked with a keyboard player with a split A100 and Leslie who also had a Nord for smaller gigs I can confirm that nothing sounds anything like the real thing when played side by side, you can feel the stage shaking once the pedal keys on the Hammond come in, you become a bit spoilt after that.
I really wanted that Hammond sound, so, well, I bought a Hammond.
Love my B3
@@muppetpaster I recently got the SK1. 15 lbs., 35 in. long. ALL the classic Hammond sounds and much MORE.
You bought a Hammond?? to put where?
@@BarDog57 it has faults, you probably haven't found them ;)
@@totaltwit Care to be specific?
Such a helpful and musical review - outstanding !
Sweet piece of tech. You can also plug two midi keyboards up so you can have the uppers and lowers. Very unique. But still doesn't beat a true Hammond if you can get your hands on one.
very nice playing at the end, love it
Thanks for the kind words Timo, wishing you all the best X
I've been using the Ferrofish with an Alesis Q61, to give me a Hammond on top of my Korg SV1 now for over 6 years..... never had a problem on stage or studio.
I'm pretty happy with the Hammond emulations on my Korg Kronos. I have a first generation Kronos and I bought the sounds from Organimation. I think thats the name of the company. Great sounds! I often like to play with the drawbars/faders too. Adds realism.
I have a Kronos now too, and the organ sounds are fantastic!
crumars killin it. Mojo classic is the best Clonewheel Ive ever played on for only ~1600€. cant beat that.
Hello Jack. I believe it's more how one understands the making of an organ sound, than the exact clone one decides on. You, btw, are a fine organist, in my not so humble opinion. I do like you playing blues on organ. That and your general cheeky attitude. Rock on, o tortured genius.
PS. for example the ferrofish's higher drawbars were too loud when pulled all the way out, so one would have to know not to pull them all the way out, if one wanted as beefy a sound. But yeah, a fish and say, a MODX7 would be almost enough maybe!
Hey Tommy, thanks for stopping by and for your kind words, appreciate it Sir. Xx
This video was great, thank you! I'm a total newb to all things keyboards. But I have myself a nice Nord Electro 5d and I want to know what PA system is best for the Nord? Can't seem to find a good answer. I use the organ a lot in my band so looking for something that will just add to the B3 Leslie sound. Anyone who can answer, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks for the demo. I the Ferrofish B4000 sounds decent, but in the video I preferred the sound of the Nord - I think they've really nailed the sound of a B3 and Leslie.
No worries bud and thanks to yiu for stopping by. The Nord defo had a weight to it in the room straight off the at but I reckon the Ferrofish could be tweaked to sound a lot better than I managed. X
I agree with you
No! He didn’t do a proper comparison!! Not even close! And Hammond?! I had a B3 In our house, played for 10 solid years.. Hammond modern organ keyboards aren’t even close! Roland will get you there much quicker.. this vid should’ve been scrapped.. was this guy high or what?! Terrible comparison vid… Nord or Ferrofish are the closest REAL HAMMOND SOUND.. unless you have a B3 @ home
@@MrRickPanick probably sounds better than you ever will sober
Mate, I'm impressed by the hammond sound. Got a 20 yo technics but this is a world of difference
I have a 20 year old technics too with the digital drawbars. The KN2400. The keys are stained yellow and it is ugly, but it still works like a champ.
Thanks Jack! My vote; E6D best quality. The other gadget rotary sounds funny on high speed, but okay for the money. Of course you're a great keyboard player. Wish I had your skills.
Hello again. Could I ask you if you could do a demo comparing the Viscount Legend Expander organ module against the Ferrofish B4000+ organ module and perhaps the Nord Electro etc... Also, I would love it if you could also do a video of the Dexibell Vivo SX-7 module as well. This one is more pianos and synths but it is really profesional etc....
Real shit I only come to these videos to hear Jack play. I dont even give a fk about anything else lol. People like him are these companies real asset
That bad boy needs some industrial grade Velcro. Looks like a perfect addition to a Yamaha CP73 or 88.
16:01-16:08... Death by Groove😫... sounds so good bro👍👍
The Nord sounds great but a little brighter than the average Hammond.
The best clonewheel engine is the HX3 IMHO.
The Ferrofish sounds rather like the vintage Vox Continental.
I bouht a Hammond XK3 with a portable Leslie for less than a thousand- lucky day.... sold my Roland VK-7 - which was great - the best portable toneclone I use for touring is my Numa-Studio Logic - picked it up for 700.00 almost new .... sounds phenomenal
Crumar totally nailed it with the Mojo 61 in my opinion.
Mojo 61 is my life force
Yes they did!! 💯💯💯
The B4000 has so many parameters on the upper and lower Leslie it can drive you nuts. Same with the percussion and internal vibrato/chorus
Dang! Your fumbling around is inspiring, dude.
Please can you do a comparison between the Ferrofish B4000+ and a Yamaha Reface YC.
Great sound.. havent watch you Jack for a while, you forgot to shave? ✌️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎶🎶🎹
The good thing about Nords coz I used to buy and sell keys, Nord keyboards price doesnt go down much, they still have a high value after a while..
How do I get the backing tracks? What were they? And what kind of footswitch do you recommend with this for the Leslie fast-and-slow? Sorry for dumb-ass questions, but I'm a dumb-ass.
some stereo reverb and you got a good sound. I don't like my organ dry
Hammond makes a b3 clone xk1c. Nothing but different organs and fantastic leslie selection. Full midi expandable add lower and pedals.
That rotor on the Ferrofish is missing more than a little, in comparison to the Nord.
I love the sounds of B4000.
By the way, can I connect a B4000 to a Roland A-300 Pro?
What's the pedal bass settings like.... Punchy or flappy.... Real grateful if anyone can give me a clue... Many thanks... Terry
i hate to twist a know for rotor speed. hate it. the nord has that beautiful half moon switch, so the question is does the b4000 take a half moon switch?
I think you could have taken the time to read the manual before trying to make a demo video on the B4000...
What's this manual you speak of?
Would this be compatible with the Nord Piano 4?
Can I connect the Ferrofish with my Yamaha P-121?
I'll go with my Nord C2D. I use all four of the organ models: Hammond, Vox, Farfisa, Pipe.
It doesn't leave my house.
Outside my house, my Vox Continental 73 works great for me.
Sadly discontinued I wanted a c2d but I was a bit late
Where can I found a synth for hammond b3 sound like Gregg rolie Santana sound and grand piano sound
@@josiahnoriega7982 still some around , they also brought out a black one,.
Dexibell Combo J7 has to be seen too. Motorised drawbar faders and killer fx section combined with modelling and sampling of piano with unlimited polyphony
Maafa 1619 rather a subjective statement at best!
The Dexibell Leslie sim is crap.
@@RayyMusik Hi - two weeks ago Dexibell released a new OS 4.06 (the beauty of the design of the boards) and this includes the long awaited new Leslie sim for both the J7 and new S9. Completely reprogrammed, we had it up against a real Leslie and a Nord board and the verdict was strong - Dexi now has a wicked leslie :) SO yep - the rotary WAS a little poor especilaly at full speed, but now it's sweet as
Well, I’m waiting for a demo. However, I wonder why this wasn’t done from the very start. The engineers who designed the original rotary sim must have been completely deaf.
Interesting stuff my man, I'm defo gonna try out there range at NAMM in January. Maybe one day they'll make it in to Andertons?! Thanks for watching and the helpful comment bud X
Vox Continental 73 does it .
the Ferrofish is ok with some keyboards , but you need a key bed with decent waterfall keys . Korg are still selling a black vox continental.
Ain't no use to cut you loose..
Dope song! Love the metors??
Good compare. I was searching for this exact question. Off topic. . . . Since the crumar mojo uses the vB3 software I’ve been too lazy to see how one could hook the vB3 live . Would there be latency? Would the eq from a laptop cut through? And other questions I don’t know the awnswer to as I only use hardware. In essence, wouldn’t using vB3 be the real money saver for a decent organ patch?
The vb3 2 organs are awesome sounds just like and hammond b3
keep in mind, a) for a while, the vb3-2 was unique to the hardware versions of the mojo, and the gemini module. Now, VB3-2 is available in software, but theres also the keybed to take into account, the mojo keybed is nearly optimized for organ style, all that palm smearing, thats the real deal, tahts what you wanna do to a good organ sound. So, One MIGHT AS WELL just get the mojo, if they really wanna do a good ammount of organ playing, but of course, plenty of people want that next level sound, but dont wanna buy a whole separate keyboard to play it!
Jonathan Osborn well said if you look for it there’s a custom Hammond shell made to fit the crumar made by one of crumars endorsers can’t remember where I saw it
B4000 supports 3 manuals!
2 upper and a bass.
I was playing the Ferrofish for 5 years. Take you some time and work it out. You can tweak it to the spot. Then get a Ventilator and you are spot on for about 600$.
3 keyboards ? what do you mean by a bass
Arnaud
The B4000 can handle 2 manuals (upper and lower) plus MIDI bass pedal at the same time.
It has 2 MIDI in. So you can handle 1 manual and the bass or 2 manuals. For all 3 you only need a MIDI merger box connected to the B4000.
And you can make the settings for every manual and bass at the B4000. I hope this answers your question.
Sorry, English is not my native language, so technical stuff is a kind of hard to describe for my
The Ventilator is the solution , I did it also, and sounds real nice, need to tweak und get all the options of as any other clones, including to his Nord
gimme some lovin intro is a two handed harmony.... watch winwood play it sometime ;-)) It has a left hand part below the 5 and 7
Yes but Jack does throw in that bottom note once in awhile...he just does the top end to free the left hand for doing adjustments to tone. He knows the lick ;-)
Dang... you get some serious bang for buck with this powerful little unit! Great demo thanks
What about the best Vox or Farfisa clone sound?
I bought this module and sent it back. It was disappointing, and I just couldn't get a sound out of it that was even as good as the stock organ sounds in my Yamaha (which is quite a basic workstation). Flat in some settings and shrill/tinny in others. The menus are also pretty confusing.
Shrillness may be to do with your eq and amp? Hammonds produce little over 6kHz and the old Leslies rolled off at about 5kHz. If you don't eq the higher fs out, you may be hearing complex harmonics and overtones.
Maybe I am missing something but what is the module he is using I only see B4000 but don't see any other branding.
Ferrofish
Neo Vent II ??? I prefer this B4000 because of the drawbars
The ferrofish looked very precarious perched on the Nord. How would you make it secure? Velcro or giant G-clamp?
two strips of velcro might work.
I’m on the hunt for the perfect studio desk, and the one behind you looks like it could be a good option! Can it handle a big 88 key controller? What is it?! 🤣
Hey James, think it's from - shhhhh - Thomann, but don't tell anyone ;) Thanks for watching bud
The controller wouldnt fit under the shelf no but on the main desk for sure. Very few desks out there have the space for an 88 to fit in a pull out tray underneath sadly. There's aome interesting threads on Gearlutz about such things and people have come up with some cool alternatives as I seem to remember. Anyways, thanks again
@@jackduxbury1632 Ha! Thanks a lot Jack the lead. Good old Thomann ey. ;) ... By the way, I'd love to connect on a musical friendship level! I've had a little look for some contact details for you before, but failed. We both have a very similar outlook/approach to the 'fun' aspect and performing etc. (Which is quite rare with so much music snobbery, especially for someone like myself doing theatre MD-ing!) I think we have some mutual friends too. I will try and find you again! You can find me at the old website. jamesharrisonmusician.com :) Hope our paths eventually cross! Love your work!
Mmmmmmm nice with Jacque.
How does the Yamaha Reface YC compare if you were to connect that to a bigger keyboard?
Good thinking Kingstumble!! I think dig the sound of the YC more straight out of the gate but the Ferrofish I think could be really well customised to suit most players with all its options and it's form factor gives it's own thing. Tanks for the cool comment!! All the bestest to ya X
Thanks for the reply Jack. I'm much more of a guitar player than a keyboard player but I do love the throb and swirl of a B3!
No worries man, thanks again. Just for the pun of it, Throb the Builder, Throbby Williams, Batman and Throbin 🙈
I was wondering the same. The button layout is very straightforward and clear if you ask me. For the occasional Hammond player a very nice quick n dirty solution I think. If you haven't played your Yamaha Hammond for a while you instantly know how to operate it. The Ferrofish might be a bit too complicated for "every now and then" playing. Jack had some trouble understanding the Ferrofish too...
Please compare Jack´s beard with the electro 6HP.
Next video Idea - SORTED!! Bound to lose though 😪 Thanks for hanging out watching my nonsense Magnus my man X
I want Jack to compare the nord 6d with the reface YC
It wouldn't even be fair. The Reface is a toy compared to the Electro
The reface has some great sounds but you need to plug it into a nord to be able to play it properly
@@TransistorBased not really.You must be deaf;-))))).
@@nathandowning873 Or in a decent keyboard.Reface sounds great.And if you think of having a portable thing that you can take at anytime anywhere.....well that's it.All Reface are great tools.
The Reface YC is amazing, I bought this instrument about two years ago. It was the first instrument for me to buy and I learned myself to play on it. I have had so much fun with it. However I'm at a point now were I really need more keys to make more progress. So I purchased the Roland FP30 today so that I can connect the two instruments. I think the roland has really nice keys and combined with the sounds of the YC I think it will be a pleasure to play this setup. Anyone any thoughts or additions? since I'm not that expertised in all of this? I just love to play and I'm so excited with my new purchase. To whoever reads this: have a nice day😎
Check out the Yamaha Reface YC, it's brilliant for the price.
Jack. Can the Ferrofish sound like a church pipe organ?
If you don’t know Ferrofish so much, you better not compare it to anything ! You probably just saw it for the first time... In addition, the Clavia is approx. 10dB louder than Ferrofish, because you probably don't have a small mixer (?) or not able to adjust the levels (?). Weird and sad...
I find that 'Galileo' on iPad is an ausome Hammond emulation & almost infinately tweakable , the Drawbar organ in Garage Band is also excellent .However, it would be nice to have real physical drawbars. It's a pity that Neo (Ventilator 2) don't do a Hammond emulator box as well !
graghams taylor I thought I was the only one who thought Galileo is awesome!
I live in a Latin American country and work mainly with Latin urban clients, so I unfortunately get to play very little organ but when the client requires Hammond sounds, I pull out Galileo and their jaws drop! They can’t believe that ballsy tone is coming out of an iPad!
Galileo sounds bad get b3x
Jack, Get down to your local pound shop and buy a roll of grip mat!
It's making me cringe seeing that thing slide around as you move the drawbars. I gather it's fairly heavy too, so I wasn't really expecting to see that.
How does the Ferrofish stack up against the Reface YC? The Nord isn't exactly in my price range, so I'd be more interested in that comparison.
Is there now a Nord Electro 6D for sale at a reduced price due to slightly damaged paint work? :)
Good points all round Sir!! A vs video may well be on the cards. I prefer the core sound of the YC if I'm honest Xx
@@jackduxbury1632, Thanks. That's a video I'd like to see :)
I can't really try a Ferrofish. I can't currently think of anywhere local I could go and try a YC either, but that does seem a more likely possibility.
I've read the YC is just playing back samples, but I can't really of a reason why that wouldn't be good enough, for organ sounds. It's not like pianos, where they have to have different dynamics - there's really just the one.
I keep hearing people saying the Leslie speaker simulation isn't good enough - on anything though, so it doesn't seem like a relevant criticism of any particular organ simulator.
Apparently Laurens Hammond didn't like Leslie speakers at all, and tried to make it harder to fit them to his organs :)
Get any Electro. The button drawbars are surprisingly easy to use
Yeah, sadly that poor rotary on the module sounds very thin
Okaaaay. so, the „Fish“ or the Yamaha YC; what do you think?
Yamaha Reface YC, at least based solely on this video, I think the Yamaha beats Ferrofish. I have the Reface, sounds are great.
Nord Leslie and distortion good
Hammond XK5 Pro Series Leslie 3300 & Nord Stage 3
I looked at this (along with a lot of other comparisons) before I bought my "organ" - but ended up with a Viscount Legend Expander released Jan 19. Its a LOT better then the Ferrofish - its better (at B3/C3/A100 - doesnt do the piano stuff) than the Nord. Retails just over £500 - but not available in the UK except by special order (had to get mine from a popular German online store - £505 delivered). I think Jack and Andertons need to investigate this unit - for a module around the £500 mark it knocks everything else out of the water. Same engine as on Viscounts full twin manual organs - and if its good enough for Steve Windwood.......
Joey D Francesco uses a Viscount, and it sounds amazing.
What board do you use with it?
@@Muzikman127 I run an RD2000 on the bottom and a Fantom 7 in the middle. The Legend sits on a top shelf with a virus desktop and prophet 6 desktop.
@@paulmapp8306 Ah, didn't notice this was a 3 year old comment!
Do you have buyers remorse with it/an issue with the tones produced? Or is it just that in the end it wasn't convenient to have a separate drawbar unit sitting on top of a controller vs a fully integrated unit?
@@Muzikman127 not at all. Its a great unit (I assume were talking anout the Legend EXP unig NOT the Ferro Sish - I never bought the FF as it just wasnt anywhere near as good as teh legend for not much more money). Would I like a full on B3 clonewheel? yes - but I need a hammer action (hence the RD) and a synth action (hence the Fantom 7) and I need a hands on knobby synth (at least one). That means I just dont have the space for a dedicated organ keyboard. Its the best solution without doing that.
What’s a squid? Is that kind of like a British Pound? You mentioned it twice or so.
quid is common slang for a pound. same with squid which comes from quid.
That Nord is everything I need in my life. But I can't afford it, so I'll buy that box instead.
Maybe try the IK Multimedia new Hammond B3-X emulation setup for either PC/MAC or iPad? It works with any inexpensive midi keyboard.
Nord is best and so is the handsome cost. FF is good but not as Nord, and so less is the cost. Thanks for a nice comparison. 👍
Very nice playin Jack!! You should have played Booker T’s ‘Time is Tight’ since you were short on time!! Ha!
Thank you, as ever mate, really appreciate you sticking with my widdling and waffling!! Good shout on the tune, went and had a listen to it, what a sound!! X

have you tried a Crumar Mojo Jack? I am a nord user for many years but recently got a Mojo 61 and it's knockout
Hey Glen, I'm ashamed to say I have not fine Sir. Think I have a mate with one but other than that I've not bumped into an example yet. I'll defo try get a video done on one when I'm out at NAMM in Jan. Thanks for the helpful comment bud X
I do think the vintage B3’s are the best, but I see why someone would go for a digital piano or organ. Lightweight and versatility is a plus.
Why dont you use the drawbar on the Electro? I presume you're using a soft synth B3?
For B3 emulations the Crumae Mojo can't be missed
I'll keep an eye out for one, maybe at Namm I can check it out, tha ks for the heads up mate and for watching X
Or a GSI Gemini module with keyboard of choice. Same B3 as the Crumar.
I got a Yamaha moxf6 and regret my £900 .I could have gotten a cheaper one and add the Fisher to it and still be under £800.
The Nord may be expesnive but you are paying for the keybed, the controls and all the other non organs stuff such as electric and acoustic pianos and also has effect. Its designed as a stage tool, much like the Stage 3 it may not be the best at any of the things is does but it is heavy duty, nice to play and can cover you if you need to play different keys sounds.
It's definitely the best for B3

Best clonewheels...Nord C2d for me!!!..The Crumar Mojo is second.
Best clonewheels IMO:
1. HX3
2. Nord
3. Crumar Mojo and Viscount Legend
@@RayyMusik oh man, the Nord organ is way better then just decent....but the legend and mojo are a step ahead!
Aretha Franklin live recording Vintage HAMMOND B3 & Leslie 122. There is a difference in vintage vs digital. But Nord is as close as you are gonna get. Hammond XK5 & Leslie 3300 has B3 & A100 & C3 & 8 different Leslie Cabinets. 122 , 147 & 31 H
No 2 Hammond organs sound the same...just sounds like a different Hammond from where I'm sitting
6:10🔥🔥
You can pick up "any" old Hammond for about 40 Euros.......(Ok not the/my B3 but still)
I've played the Nord quite a bit and I can't stand the sound..love my xk-1 better [ xk-1 + mini vent]
My guess? £2350.00
Having owned and played real Hammonds the ones these days are basically all imitations of the real deal. The Hammond version is by far above the Nord but the Nord is a great keyboard in its own right .The Viscount is also worth a mention as well. Try as they might you just are not going to emulate the tone wheel sound . To many elements to copied realistically. That said it is easier by far to carry a clone around and much better on your back in the long run. Just so you will know I had a B3 chop , and an A100.
1) Nord is not the Ferrari of hammond clones sound ...
2) crumar Mojo and Hx3 engine are the kings of the Matter
I guess it is with where their shop stock levels are concerned...;-)
answer is not much. elka, vermona, all have unique and lovely sounds. it doesnt have to sound like a b3. even a deepmind can do a mean clonewheel sound
More important than the tone is the precision with which it delivers the timing intent of the player to the sound engine and the random latencies which are introduced in the sound generation pipeline. Real Hammonds have multiple contact switches per key switching always running tone wheels so very low and consistent latency from key press to sound. Using low latency as a criterium, that rules out any externally connected midi unit using 31.25Kbps single channel connection to a scanned keybed where latency can be a random 1-10msecs key to sound. Here is an example of a true low latency clone wheel organ and what precise low latency can allow. th-cam.com/video/4t2thb0Nv70/w-d-xo.html
Sorry, but although this module has nice sounds it fails miserably when it comes to the Leslie...
I payed $1,300 for a Hammond and Leslie to get the sound
th-cam.com/video/Psw8FE9zwvU/w-d-xo.html This is the demo to get the ideas from
Nord all the way !!
What about Hammond brand digital organs? Surely they are at least if not better than the nord
Hey Poop, sadly we don't have them in the Store so couldn't face it off against the Nord, good point though X
Well if organ is your main interest and that is the vast majority of what you gig then an actual hammond is the obvious choice. However I'd imagine that alot of the people who watch these videos are keyboardists that gig regularly and usually have to have the versatility to play piano, synth, organ, etc on demand. For alot these people lugging around even a xkc3 just for organ sounds on top of a regular stage piano may not make much sense.
Ferrofish sounds thin and their Leslie sounds terrible out the box. Nord wins!
The new YC beats the Nord for organ in my opinion.
And the Mojo? Don't think so
This video isn't for me. In the rare occasion I would need an organ sound, my synth provides that. I wouldn't carry a special device for strings, brass or bells, for the comparison. But if your job depends on having the best organ sound, Hammond is out of the job. Get a Nord or a Ferrofish.
Ferrofish sure seems obsolete to me
Isn't Hammond the "Ferrari" of Hammond sounds.......?
Hammond would be the Bugati, or maybe Koeniggseg of Hammond sounds! (along with a Leslie, of course!)
...and this guy is doing a demo!? He's way too busy ;)
Exactly what I thought, he's all over the place and doesn't seem prepared at all.
He is a real musician! He can actually play! What's not to like?
Nord wins hands down
Still sounds digital. Both Nord & B4000. Hammond Vintage Enthusiast can tell the difference.
An organ sound is a mix of sine-waves in different keys. Even a simple vintage Orla can do that. And they are rising in price. The differences are in the faults that produce the overtones. For me an organ sound is just one sound. You wouldn't buy a sax keyboard or module, or would you? So I'm satisfied with the organ sounds in my rompler.
A Hammond and a Farfisa had a baby, and named it Ferrofish. It kinda sounds like a Hammond, but it’s got that cheesy, shrill high-end Farfisa thing going on that’s less convincing.
the sk2s leslie is much better than nords
so what's the answer to this question? Nord?
2:22 ...but your selling it for £318...?
Prices fluctuate, the video may have been shot some time ago when it was sub £300. One reason why the guys normally never quote prices.
My bad! Thanks Geoff for explaining my inaccurate info, spot on!! I'm gonna try keep the price out of the videos in the future, thanks for stopping by and for watching Xx
