What sort of instrument is this?

[Masterdog]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what sort of instrument is played in this song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrcTz5XRtN8 (it's Nickelback's Rockstar, you can hear it at about 0:20 onwards for the first verse).

It sounds like an organ of some kind, but nothing on my keyboard even comes close to sounding like it. I've heard it in quite a lot of other songs as well. Any ideas?

Ta,

MD

PS I can probably find another example if the Nickelback one isn't clear enough.

Is that the sound you're after?

First saw that band in 1972.

Yes - the second tier keyboard he plays is the kind of thing I mean. Sort of a punchy sound, difficult to describe. I'm really a numpty when it comes to organs, is that a Hammond then? And are there any VSTs which can replicate it fairly accurately?
