SK1-73
The 61-note keyboard became the de facto standard for electric keyboards through its use on the first widely available electric keyboard instrument, the HAMMOND ORGAN, but the demands on today’s players require a greater scope so a 73 note version became the industry standard.
Description
Fantastic instrument for the keyboard player who wants the absolute best Hammond organ sounds in a portable keyboard but with the luxury of extra keys.
It packs a powerful Hammond sound in the right hand and realistic Piano in the left hand.
Who could want more! Power and portability is the winner for this smashing keyboard.
A keyboardist today may jump from B-3 to Electric Piano to Clav in the same song, and if based in the Piano tradition, may find a 61 note keyboard limiting.
The Sk1-73’s 73 note Fatar keyboard provides the proper “breathing room” for a modern keyboardist, while retaining the superior feel, light weight and small footprint of the 61-note model.
It is also the perfect ax for singer-songwriters and accompanists of all genres, due to its ability in shifting the keyboard response automatically between piano and organ-type “feels”
The Hammond Sk-1 is the instrument keyboard players have dreamed about, and its wild success proves dreams come true.
It’s the one keyboard having the range and quality to play every gig imaginable without compromise, without useless sounds and features, but WITH all the necessary sounds and features a serious artist needs and desires.
Adding Hi-definition Essential Keyboard voices to the majestic (and original) Drawbar Organ provides a palette for every genre, establishing a solid foundation for any keyboard rig.
The dream becomes real when you realize the Sk1 is 15 pounds, and small enough to fit any stage.
It’s comfortable to play even with NO stage.
The heavy labor you once faced moving multiple heavy keyboards at the end of a hot set (or three) is now a forgotten memory.
ou’ve always wished you could hit the road with that B-3 and Leslie you have in your home, but practicality has said “no”.
The Sk1 allows you to sing “YES”, with the ability to voice your Sk1 to match your beloved console tonewheel-for-tonewheel.
Sometimes 61 notes is just not enough. +
