Howdy - Can anyone recommend a good analogue Keyboard that can produce good Hammond B3 / C3 Sounds ....also, good piano....acoustic/ Wurlitzer /Fender Rhodes etc ?
I would like to keep it below £500 if that's possible ???
I really don't want to go down the Midi route....
Many Thanks.

I think you're looking at a ROMpler of some kind - Kurzweil, perhaps? Or maybe try the very clever Reface YC/CP (not ROMplers, but not analogue); they look like toys but aren't.

Not the best action (although actually not bad for light-to-moderate hammond work) - but nice sounding, and a good interface on it - easy to use.

You could probably get a 2 for around £500, not sure how they compare but I liked the one I had.
Sound On Sound contributor, Gordon Reid, once programmed and marketed a set of patches for the Roland JX-10 Super JX synthesizer. Amongst these lurked one Hammond organ patch that managed to create the illusion of Leslie cabinet style movement around the stereo image. The sound set was named GR-101.
Realistic acoustic piano sounds are not the realm of analogue subtractive synthesis. There is no end of "ROMpler" digital keyboard instruments available secondhand. The ones with ROM expansion card or board capabilities can be tailored to your personal tastes.
For the requested sounds, at "under £500", my money would go on Spectrasonics Keyscape.
