I second the motion to declare Andy's find, the Sounder, as the worst. If I saw that toy by the side of the road on garbage day, I wouldn't even slow down to look at it.
Maybe accelerate, swerve to miss that dog (yes, officer, there really was one!) and sort of hit the Sounder head on! :D
The Everett connection (Hammond looking for a low-cost starter organ and having nothing of its own) led to organs like the 'Everett by Hammond', 'Hammond Everett' (same organ!) and then the J series. A lot to answer for, IMHO!
It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

The organs are kind of silly but I wish the piano part of their business had been successful... they didn't seem to do anything really new with their pianos though, just the same instrument with a different name.

Pity the Everett organ name was such a dog. My mother's piano was a 1954 everett, a very competent console with a funny tone split between the 2 wire and the 3 wire strings. Everett pianos are commanding premium prices now on craigslist, since everybody knows that Yamaha bought their dealer network. I auditioned a new 44" Everett in 1982 when I bought the Sohmer 39". They had fixed the funny tone split. Those were still made in Michigan.
