Tommy Eide's


I've always had a thing for wood. And specially wood with a organ inside. so, its a undeniable fact that a B3 is a beautiful furniture. and since I can not afford to get hold of a B3, I must look to its little sister, the M3. I must admit that I actually like spinets. they are small, light, can fit in a small livingrom without getting the visitors to believe that I am a concert organist, and they are beautiful, and they actually contains the real parts and have real sound! Since I already have had a L-122 and already imported a M-102, M3 was the last natural choice		Jeg har alltid hatt en ting for tre. og spesielt tre med et orgel på innsiden, så det er etubenektelig faktum at B3 er et nydelig møbel, og siden jeg ikke har råd til et B3, så må jeg kikke på lillesøsteren M3. Jeg må innrømme at jeg faktisk liker spinettorgler. De er pene, små, lette, passer inn i en stue uten at besøkende tror at du er en konsertorganist og inneholder faktisk de riktige delene og har riktig lyd! Siden jeg allerede har hatt en L-122 og allerede har importert en M-102, var M3 det siste naturlige valget.
