From Our Research Team:

Another instant classic from Hammond!

The Hammond XK-3c has been designed with the professional musician in mind. Built upon the outstanding features and astounding tone-wheel type sound found on the legendary XK-3 keyboard which is no longer being produced, Hammond engineers have added many of the most requested advanced features and effects never before found on a Hammond keyboard of this price range. Like the XK-3 keyboard, the new XK-3c can be used strictly as a single keyboard or expanded into a two-manual B-3 like organ when used in conjunction with either the innovative PRO or Traditional XK Systems.

Hammond XK-3c Features:
  • 61 keys + 12 preset keys
  • Waterfall keys with velocity
  • Two sets of 9 and one set of two drawbars
  • Vase III sound generator creates 96 digital tone wheels
  • Original B-3 reverse color keys presets
  • Full polyphony (unlimited)
  • Split upper and lower Vibrato/Chorus switches
  • Assignable controller for MIDI instruments
  • Advanced digital Leslie and Vibrato Scanner
  • Enhanced dual tube preamp and Overdrive

What a wonderful electronic organ the XK-3C is !!!

I have been for six mouths now reaseaching the hammond 3B and 3C option purchase as a used instrament; at far greater cost and shipping hassel.I have also looked into the keyboard clones with question... read more [+]s as to could they even come close to the great sound of the B3.Because of the great cost of the used real 450 lb Hammond, I elected to stick my neck out and order the XK-3C hammond from Sweetwater. After taking with Jason Coons, I was convence to give it a shot. I received it via Fed-X in only three days. After inspection and setup, the music was blasting out of my behringer FX 3000 amps and there was no dought I had made the right move. The sound is fantastic ! With ease of setup and portability, this keyboard organ ROCKS !! close [-]

Little budget, big sound

by Allen from Atlanta

Music Background: church organist
Our church needed a new organ. Of course the #1 problem was lack of money (as always)... until we were introduced to the XK-3c. We got the entire system AND a Leslie 3300 to go with it. This thing is ... read more [+]LOUD. That's all I can say about the volume. You would think you were hearing a full-sized Hammond organ the way this thing sounds. The bass absolutely kicks. And yes you can tweak it in hundreds of ways. Our dealer didn't like it. He said we'd be wanting a full Hammond in a year or less. WRONG! I've played Hammonds for years and I don't even miss the vintage instrument much less a new B-3. The greatest thing of all? Only a mere $8600 vs. $20,000 for a new B-3. I recommend this to any church who wants that Hammond sound and wants it now. close [-]
