Hammond XK3C USATO cod. 88225

For all practical purposes, the XK-3c corresponds to the
upper manual of a B-3. All the familiar ingredients are there:
Reverse Preset, Chorus Vibrato on the left,
Percussion on the right. A 2-tube preamp, a
full MIDI controller, and these are just some of the
features of this monster. The nameplate reads
XK-3c, but once you play it, you’ll think it’s
a B-3. The Hammond Xk-3c is appreciated worldwide for
its sound, style, and unmistakable continuity
with the tradition that Hammond has created and maintained for over
75 years. If for some reason a Hammond B-3 is not
available, serious musicians everywhere know that only
the Hammond Xk-3c can replace it. Many imitations have been
proposed, but as soon as you touch a key, you
realize that you cannot clone the soul and feel of an
instrument. There is no need to break in an Xk-3c, and
there is no need to get used to playing it. You can immediately feel that it is
right and that it sounds good, because it is perfect. Only an original Hammondcan deliver on this promise. With two sets of
Harmonic Drawbars, Chorus-Vibrato, and Touch-Response
Percussion, the XK-3c matches the upper manual of a
Hammond B-3. The reverse presets work exactly like
those on the B-3, and the traditional waterfall keyboard
fits perfectly. The Digital Leslie rotates the sound
just as you would expect, but the whole thing weighs only 15kg.
If you want, you can take the XK-3C out of its
packaging and go straight to performing; it’s that simple
at this point. If you’ve ever played a B-3, you’ll know how to
play an Xk-3c. Start maneuvering the drawbars; their
appearance, feel, and response are just
as they should be. There are also a few other buttons that
you wouldn’t find on the panel of a B-3, but you can
ignore them if you want.
