Let me add a story...

A very close friend died, and we went to his funeral.  As I sat
in the pew listening to the organist play, I was impressed that
this sounded like a very good Hammond installation.  It puzzled
me, for I could see the back side of the console, ...and it was
not shaped like a Hammond.

After the service was over, and I was allowed to move about,
the organist continued to play.  When I got to where I could
see the keyboard side of the console, I was amazed to see that
it was a Rodgers.

Whatever that organ could have sounded like, it was registered
with all trems wide open until she got the sound she was
comfortable with, and then never changed it, except to make
it a bit louder or softer with the expression shoe(s).

True story.

So, if that organist had a favorite style of sound, she got
this Rodgers to sound like a Hammond quite well.
