Hammond SK1 Organ

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 the 935 Church Organ. Acoustic and Electric Pianos, Clavs, Accordions, Vintage String Synth, Wind Instruments and Tuned Percussion round out the specification.

Why buy Hammond Organs?

Hammond organs were created in the 1930s and quickly became a popular choice for professional musicians. These organs deliver a high-quality sound that is perfect for live performance and studio work, making them a popular choice for those who need an organ that can perform well in any setting.
A portable organ is a great tool to have for a number of reasons. First, they are lightweight and easy to transport, making them perfect for musicians who need to move their equipment between venues. Second, the intuitive interface makes them easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with portable organs. And finally, the classic sound of a Hammond organ can be found in this instrument, making it the perfect choice for those who want the best possible sound quality.

Does the Hammond sk1 have weighted keys?

No, the Hammond Sk1 does not have weighted keys. It instead has a semi-weighted keybed that provides a more traditional feel and response when playing. This makes it easier for those who are used to playing on a traditional organ to make the transition to the Hammond Sk1.
