lets look at the future shall we.....B3/C3 yeah I'm glad I lived thru those so called glory day times....I carry the memories with me every night.....
but in reality its not mainstream anymore ...but it is still a slice of the musical performance venues many people like to enjoy if you seek it out.......because that is what we have now in this world a big Music Pie with many many many SLICES to taste if you want to.

Its actually a combination of the Hammond XK135 and the Ketron XD9 (If memory serves correct) and was first showcased at the Pakefield keyboard Festival last September, with notes being taken on what people liked and disliked about it so that the production version would have what the uses wanted.

Coffee? Yuck!

Doesn't have to be about Yamaha all the time, eh?

Hammond? The very best!!

Owned three of them over the years.

Nice to see they are staying with the times and technology, something they didn't do years ago, and that led to their downfall.

Great links....I'll have a green tea please?

Remember to leave good news alone.

Do you really think the average person in the audience knows the difference between a Hammond sound and a good facimile.....& when Is a Hammond arranger coming?

It�s been out some time. http://www.hammondorgan.co.uk/b3/xe.htm

Taike,
Very interesting!
On another subject, I notice your profile says Taiwan-Laos. It would be extremely interesting to know what type of venues are available there. Are musical tastes that much different from U.S.?
Maybe that would be a good idea for a new thread, comparing the differing cultures of our SZ participants, at least as they relate to music.
Thanks,
Don

Maby the audience can't tell the difference bertween a Hammond and a copy...but I can, and being satisfied with your sound is a big part of playing/performing enjoyment.
