HAMMOND SK1 88 – full size stage keyboard – great condition and works flawlessly. For sale is this (relatively) rare full size Hammond SK1. I LOVE this keyboard and the sounds it can produce – Organs, Electric Pianos, Pianos and others – but it’s simply too big for my cramped studio (as you can see from the picture). If anyone wants to straight swap for a smaller SK1 then get in touch. In terms of condition – the left side cheek got scratched on the bottom, and there are some small micro scratches on the metal front casing where your thigh can rub against it, but these are virtually invisible unless you go at it with a torch. In terms of functionality it is in great shape – everything you could want of this model – and it comes with a (massive) Gator case, with wheels, that will get you to gigs and back in one piece. BE AWARE THAT THIS IS HUGE in Postal terms. The website describes it as follows.

Whereas older Hammond models utilised a design composed of 96 spinning discs, each with a notch in a different location to register distinct pitches, the new SK1 range has undergone a digital transformation. However, this doesn’t mean that the traditional Hammond sound has been altered in any way. Instead, the SK1 digitally reproduces the authentic Hammond sound by taking the original design and reproducing it in the digital realm. There are no moving parts, but precise modelling and digital technologies have allowed us to recreate the original Hammond tone, complete with all its inconsistencies, imperfections, and beautiful idiosyncrasies. Customise to Your Heart’s Content. One of the principal advantages of digital music technology is the ability to customise and tailor various settings until you achieve the perfect sound. The SK1 range’s Digital Tonewheel – the’engine’ that drives the instrument – boasts sophisticated controls for every conceivable aspect of the organ’s sound. Adjusting the Volume, Timbre, Motor Noise and Leakage allows the user to create your own Hammond sound, replicate the sound of a vintage Hammond, or reproduce one of the iconic models used by some of the most famous Hammond musicians on the planet. Additional memory enables you to add voices from various free online sources and settings for the mysterious’Tone’ control have also been included, demonstrating our attention to detail and desire for historical authenticity. The Hammond and The LeslieT. Since the Hammond was first developed, its story has been bound up in that of The LeslieT speaker. Designed to provide a’warmer’ sound for the Hammond, The LeslieT speaker proved immensely popular amongst those that used the instrument to play popular music styles. With the SK1, we’ve created our finest digital LeslieT reproduction to date. The effect can be switched on quickly, and every aspect of the sound can be controlled, including the rotor speed, speaker size, amp type, and mic placement. There’s even space for eight presets, each of which replicates the sound of vintage LeslieT models, like the 122, 147, and Vintage 31-H. Our range of SK1 organs allows you to recreate the classic combination of Hammond and LeslieT with an incredibly diverse array of settings and presets.
