HAMMOND XK1-C

I am very happy to write the very first review for this superb organ from Hammond, even though it has been here for only 24 hours !!!

Nice finish, and robust, handy to play. It is light weight too.

The effects switches are the right size, to switch on or off while playing, with bright indicators on switch on. I also liked that little tint on the keys, with that two pieces of ‘wood’ in it’s sides, as if you have a real vintage B3!!

As for sound, it really punch in headphones, or when fed through an amplifier, especially tube amps. To hear that beautiful sound of rotating Leslie speakers, you have to plug it in a stereo amp.

It is worth buying this nice organ, especially when you are interested in that HAMMOND B3 sound !!!
