Crumar MOJO-CL Classic virtueel toonwielorgel

Do not buy from Bax .
Ordered this organ on 30 March. Was delivered three days late and only because chased it up. Deleted a fault 6 days later. Contacted “Customer Services” ( and ironic term if ever there was one) and the boxed keyboard sat in my hallway for over a week. Eventuality got picked up and they have , again now had it back for 8 days but refuse to process the replacement or return . So they have my money since March 30th, I had the keyboard for 6 days and they had it back for 2 more days than I had it . Multiple promises for call backs and emails but non received . Do not buy from this company.

Purchased this instrument from Bax Music with prompt delivery and as usual good service, I have purchased a number of products from Bax Music and on each occasion the transactions have been smooth without issue. Now to the Crumar Classic.
I originally had the Crumar Mojo which gave me a number of years of service without problem using it live and in the studio but the layout always bugged me, when the New Classic arrived the control surface was what one would expect of a Hammond Console with everything in the right place, at the time of my purchase there were hardly any demos to be found online but from what I had heard sonically it was a big improvement. So I took a punt and ordered the Classic which arrived in about four days along with the Crumar wheeled case.

Having now used the Classic for a good period of time I can confirm that not only is it reliable but the sound is superb, notable points are that the waterfall key action is close to my A100s and the onboard Rotary is so good that I now do not use a Leslie which is less equipment and hookup to worry about. The Chorus/Vib is much improved on previous models and as a Hammond replacement it fits the job nicely at less cost than other clones on the market. Sure it doesn’t have 9 key contacts so there are a few things you cannot achieve but for live work its of no consequence.

Having tried out the Hammond Suzuki offerings, Nord, Roland imho the Crumar is far better and having done a A/B of the Classic against two of my A100s one a 64 model the other a 71 model its hard to tell the difference and of course with the large collection of Generator models with the Classic it easy to get it to sound like any Hammond you’ve ever heard. It’s a shame Crumar haven’t offered a traditional B3 type wooden stand but I understand the commercial reasons why that is.

Build quality is as good as anything Ive seen elsewhere except for the Hammond Suzuki XK5 which feels a stronger build quality and while the keybed of the Crumar might not last long with windmill chops if its treated with respect I would say it would provide several years of reliable service.
