The Hammond SK1 is the first “Ultra-Portable” organ in its history, weighing in at just 15 pounds, and the first Hammond portable to feature a wide range of Extra Voices. The “Drawbar” section is a complete Hammond Organ with all the traditional features: Real Mechanical Drawbars, Chorus Vibrato, Touch-Response Percussion, and the most authentic Digital Leslie we have ever offered. “Vx” and “Farf” combo organ models are also available, as well as an assortment of fine classical Pipe Organ voices derived from our 935 Church Organ. Acoustic and Electric Pianos, Clavs, Accordions, Vintage String Synth, Wind Instruments and Tuned Percussion round out the specification. The SK2 model adds a second 61 note keyboard for added convenience-you may play the SK2 as a two-manual organ, or assign the Drawbar/Extravoice divisions to your choice of keyboard.

Product description
Already for a long time of period the Hammond sound is indispensable in today's rock and pop music but also sounds such as acoustic pianos, electric pianos and other vintage sounds are very popular and frequently used in all kinds of music.With the introduction of the new SK series Hammond has succeeded to combine the famous Hammond B-3 sound and high quality vintage sounds such as acoustic pianos, electric pianos, strings and many other sounds and effects in single light weighted instruments!The result is a combination where organists and keyboard-players could only dream of. The beautiful designed Hammond SK models are affordable, extremely light and compact and feature al the quality sounds and effects needed for "live" or "studio" performances.
