Hammond SK1
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. You’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.
“After playing the Sk1 this will certainly be my main gigging axe for everything keyboard I do. I will be using it on the next Hall & Oates tour as well which starts at the end of this month and goes for a few weeks. As well as any future TV appearances we do. BTW the band on LFDH and Daryl all commented on how great it sounds.”
