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:
- 73 keys (61 + 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

 XK-3c review
by Chas Carlson from Minneapolis, MN, April 20, 2008
Music Background: keyboardist, recording engineer
“I was looking to update my old Roland VK7 clonewheel organ and was intrigued by ads of the new Hammond XK-3c. I read the other review posted here and thought, well maybe I should make the plunge. I used the XK-3c at various gigs over 2 weeks and came to the same conclusions as Jeff did. Nice, but missing the “scream” of my VK7….did I make a big mistake?

"Anyone who ever put their back out lugging a "real" B3 up or down a flight of stairs will welcome this XK-3c with open arms. And your keyboard player will love the sound it makes. Real sounds without real pounds!"

"If you want the B3 sound in a portable package look no further then the XK3c. This nails the vintage B3 sound and even has dual tube preamp and overdrive built in! you won't believe your ears when you hear this thing! If you want the full B3 experience you can order a lower manual, stand, expression pedal - and we now sell the Leslie 3300. "

"When it comes to a portable B3-style organ keyboard, nothing can match the realism of the Hammond XK-3c. But should we expect any less from a keyboard that has the Hammond name on it?

There is nothing like the XK-3c!"

"Nobody builds a Hammond like Hammond. If you're looking for true-to-original B3 sound but without lugging the big stuff, this is your ticket."
