Keyboard? No way! This is a single manual organ. Make no mistake about it.Hi, I'm Cliff Unruh and I have never been more impressed with a Hammond product than I am with the XK-3c. This organ is fantastic and has drawn a lot of attention from all quarters. The ability to expand from a single manual portable organ to two manuals or even a full-B-3 type portable organ makes this the most versatile organ/keyboard on the market. We have churches that use the XK-3c in the XK Traditional System. Why? For two reasons. First, of course, is the cost. The XK-3c is an economical alternative to getting the sound and feel of the B-3. Second is the adaptability. Even when its part of an XK-Pro or XK-Traditional System, the XK-3c can be removed and function as a single manual organ by itself. For our church customers it provides a full organ for Sunday mornings and a portable organ for church picnics and other off-site venues. The same applies for our professional customers who use the XK-3c on various gigs. Depending on the type of gig, the player has the choice of taking just the XK-3c or a full XK-Pro System.
For those just starting out, the XK-3c makes sense because of its "growth potential." As the player
grows, the system can grow as well. Here is what Hammond Suzuki says about the XK-3c:A KEYBOARD MAGAZINE “Key Buy”! The most versatile organ/keyboard anywhere. For all practical purposes, the XK-3c is the “Upper Manual” of a B-3. All the familiar ingredients are there. Reverse Presets, Chorus- Vibrato on the left, Percussion on the right. A 2-tube preamp, and full MIDI controller capability are just a few of the features of this beast. The nameplate says “XK-3c” but play it, and you’ll think “B-3”
