Hammond XK-3C - Used

Hammond XK3C

The Hammond XK-3C is a drawbar keyboard that provides you with the legendary Hammond sound with a smooth, 73-key waterfall keyboard, 18 drawbars. The XK3C was developed by the same manufacturer that's responsible for the warm rock and jazz sounds of the classic B3. The XK-3c is a practical digital edition, that allows for easy transport to your gigs.

This is a used item in excellent working condition.

The construction and aesthetic of the Hammond XK-3C is a callback to the original B3 organ. Slick, wood paneling encases the electronic innards, providing a very classy look. From the player’s perspective, the keyboard boasts a black and brown aesthetic, containing drawbar sliders and a healthy amount of options on the front panel. This isn’t a synthesizer, however, so the amount of electronic options you will see, although varied, don’t litter the front panel.

One can summarize the visual appeal of the Hammond XK-3C in two words—“slick” and “classy.” Whether the keyboard will take up a space on the live stage, backed by other electronic and acoustic instruments, or taking a seat next to synthesizers in your keyboard collection or home studio, the Hammond XK-3C will fit right in. The wood paneling and the simplistic, LED-lit knobs and sliders tell you exactly what the keyboard is supposed to be when you look at it—new technology that provides users with a callback to the early days of Hammond organs.
