Yeah it was a complicated issue. There were 4 facets to it:
1. I realized I've achieved my goal for level of play with piano, so realized I really should be realistically focusing on that. 2. My facility on the organ isn't as good, and maybe even my natural ability for it, even though I understood the concepts. 3. The digital organ sounded kind of bad and dorky and would make my recordings sound bad no matter how well I played. And it was physically harder to play because the exact trigger for the notes sounding was tough to get ahold of. Not at all like a naturally attacked instrument like guitar or piano. 4. I can pay off debt if I sell it.
So moving forward, I'm going to focus on jazz piano and also try to work other rock and pop tunes I like into piano. Beyond that, I can control any instrument I want using VSTs and keyboard. I want to at least work a little lead rock guitar using my keyboard with pitch bend wheel as a controller. Long term, I could buy another instrument like a real tonewheel organ or I really like vibraphone. I think I would be good at that.
Really happy with my level of play on piano, so want to focus on that and branch out from there. I think it's dumb to be dicking on an instrument where it's sounding bad if I already sound advanced on piano.

I forgot to add that my lessons with Tony Monaco were epic. All the knowledge he taught me totally transferred over to piano. It helped me focus on tempo, time feel, rhythm, and technical skills and get everything worked out to have a command of bass, harmony, and melody.

I just investigated and apparently the company Rhodes relaunched the instrument and they're making new ones. That's great. There needs to be newly manufactured versions of the pro standard of these instruments, not digital recreations like Hammond.
They're dead sexy apparently. You can customize the look and functionality.

Yeah, I'm perfectly happy with the piano and Rhodes sounds on my $600 digital piano. The digital Hammond was terrible. I couldn't take it anymore and snapped lol. That's ok. I still gained a lot of keyboard skills and I learned not to go with an unacceptable instrument. Especially one that costs a boat load.

Done packaging the beast. I used discarded packaging from work for the stand, leslie, and misc stuff. For the organ I had to actually buy packaging supplies. I wrapped 3 rolls of big bubble wrap around it and boxed it lol. I think it's good to go.

I revised the packaging and did a test run on the dolly. I added the manual to the misc box and I added a roll of bubble wrap to the organ. There were 3 rolls of bubble wrap on the organ and the 4th roll I ordered arrived late. So I thought eff it, I'll redo it with 4 rolls of bubble wrap on it and have it be indestructible. I tried putting all 4 boxes on the squeaky lil dolly I ordered but I think it's too gnarly. I'll have to move 2 at a time to the UPS store. Moving the boxes around, I'm pretty sure everything's safe and secure, and won't get damaged. I replaced the ink cartridge in my printer so everything's good to go. All I have to do is print the shipping labels and put them on the boxes after the winner pays and take them to the UPS store. There are 8 days left on the auction and there is an opening bid at my minimum price of 4k.
