Tony -
I’m afraid it is very much like a Funmachine. If you want a B3 type of sound on the cheap you’re better off going with something like a Kawai E600 as seen here http://organpron.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/kawai-e600a/. It’s kind of at the crossroads between a Funmachine type of sub-synthesizer and a legitimate organ. It even has a series of drawbars! They weigh at least 400 lbs., but they’re pretty cheap – about the same as what you’d pay for a Piper Autochord, but far and away a better machine. I do love the Piper, though!

I’m expecting to buy a Pipper 2 and my main doubt is: “DOES THE PIPPER 2 SOUNDS LIKE (or nearly, at least) A HAMMOND-B3 OR SO?” Or does it only sounds like a “Piano, Harpsichord, Sitar, Guitar, Marimba, Banjo, Trombone, Accordion, Flute, Violin, Trumpet or any combination of them.” I own a Funmachine and I dont want another similar organ. If anyone can clear my doubt, I would be very thankful. Tony, from Argentina

It is not. In fact NOTHING on this site is available as it was all on ebay and craigslist over a year ago. Sorry!

Hey Mike.
Other than the case, and the fact that the one you have is a bit more rare, there’s no difference. They’re cheap, cool lil’ organs – you won’t be retiring on any money made from selling it. For what they are, I love ‘em.
