Hammond

The
Hammond XK-3c Drawbar Organ follows in the footsteps of the award-winning

who demand nothing but the best.
This
musical instrument does what has never been done before - offering you
the classic "tone-wheel" sound by utilizing 96-digital tone
wheels. This Vase III sound generator now makes it possible to reproduce
all of the characteristics of the vintage Hammond B-3. Additionally, the
Hammond XK-3 houses two internal vacuum tubes that will change continuously

organ also includes 12 reverse color key presets, 3 sets of drawbars,
