A real Hammond without a Leslie:

Depending on the size of your screen, the picture might not display the
original size of the organ.

A Roland GR-55, is just a small guitar floorboard, in addition to the
floor board you need a guitar, it provides the Hammond and a Leslie:

There are keyboard based Hammond replacements available, too.

If you want something close to e.g. a Bernie Worrell alike organ sound,
a modern keyboard or guitar synth with emulations, is easier to
transport than a Hammond. Isn't it?
