General

Hammond is famous for its legendary tone wheel organs, that date back to the first half of the 20th century. The company has moved with the times, however, and now offers the authentic Hammond sound even in their digital instruments. The SK1-73 stage keyboard features all the Hammond sounds you love, as well as various Leslie models and 37 highly realistic instrument presets. As such, this 73-key keyboard is perfect for live keyboard players who want both that fantastic Hammond sound and the more 'bread-and-butter' effects.

Hammond SK1-73: 2 x VASE III and Leslies

Purists may have their doubts about a digital, compact Hammond such as this one. However, those doubts are completely unfounded, as the two advanced VASE III sound generators offer 96 tone wheels, that can be meticulously tweaked through their 17 parameters. This way, every organist can enjoy the Hammond sound they've always dreamed of. Of course, key-click, voicing and vibrato are all adjustable. Furthermore, the Leslie simulation is of the utmost importance, and the SK1-73 features 8 different possible models that are so realistic they'll give you the chills when you play. From vintage Leslies to powerful rock models, it's got them all and they're fully adjustable.

Hi-Def Sounds and a 32-Voice Pipe Organ

Besides the authentic B-3 sound, the Hammond SK1-73 also offers 37 other instruments. From Yamaha grands to Rhodes, and from trumpets to synth sounds, this stage keyboard does it all. Moreover, all these Hi-Def sounds have been sampled and programmed with the greatest of care, so that they live up to any live band and recording setting. Last but not least, classically trained keyboard instrument players will enjoy the 32 ranks of church pipe organ. The Hammond SK1-73 even features MIDI support and a built-in music player (MP3/WAV) In short, it's an all-round instrument for demanding keyboard instrument players with a special place in their heart for that true Hammond sound.

Hammond SK1-73 Stage Keyboard

Firstly the service I received when I purchased the keyboard was faultless. The keyboard arrived when expected great service from BAX. Secondly the keyboard itself is fantastic - I wanted the real hammond sound along with some decent bread and butter pianos etc.. and again massive tick in the box - very happy with purchase. You can download for free other sounds sets which is simple enough - plus the extra sounds module can be controlled via an external midi controller - great solution if you want to avoid lugging heavy additional gear around.

Zoek je een Keyboard met de nadruk op de echte B3 sound, dan is deze perfect. De leslie simulator is wel bagger, maar dat is eenvoudig te verbeteren met een Neo Ventilator. Heeft een levensechte hammond sound die bijna exact hetzelfde is als een echte, vergeleken met mn eigen A100. Bij een echte bestaat wel die akoestische diepe sfeer in de sound die niet te reproduceren is, maar dit keyboard is echt de beste van alle digitale hammonds op de markt, naast de Hammond XK-3C natuurlijk, maar die is veels te duur. Deze heeft in tegenstelling tot andere hammond keyboards ook wat andere bekende sounds als piano, wurlitzer, rhodes etc.

Zoek je een keyboard van hoogstaande kwaliteit voor hammond, piano, wurlitzer, rhodes etc. met de nadruk op hammond, kies dan absoluut deze.

Niks gaat boven een echte hammond, maar deze weegt 250 kilo minder dus ja;)

De Hammond SK1-73 is een lichtgewicht stagekeyboard met een heerlijke sound.

Ik heb dit keyboard ongeveer een jaar geleden aangeschaft.

Het eerste keyboard dat ik geleverd kreeg heb ik terug moeten sturen; één toets maakte een vervelend bijgeluid. Het product werd gratis retour genomen en bax-shop heeft mij een nieuw keyboard toegezonden. Deze heb ik inmiddels een jaar in gebruik.

Ondanks eerdere problemen concludeer ik toch dat ook deze Hammond tegen een stootje kan; heb met dit instrument meerdere optredens gedaan en nooit problemen gehad.

Ik ben uitermate tevreden over dit product met het authentieke hammond geluid dat mij kippenvel bezorgt. Vergeet niet een footswitch (een simpele aan/uit-schakelaar) mee te bestellen als je er nog geen hebt om de ingebouwde Leslie te kunnen bedienen.
