Hi cgiles,

Anyone notice the Leslie misprint on the top panel?

Apparently, this Leslie 'breaks' instead of 'brakes'....

Just as long as it makes it back to the stand before the next set starts, I guess.....

Same as yours. Waste of time without real drawbars.

Give me the Hammond XK1 any time. Maybe not that suitable for gigging but who cares? It's the sound that matters.

If I were still a regular-gigging musician in a organ trio setting; given the combination of sound, weight, and price, I'd have to go with the Nord. Just the concept of showing up at the gig with a two-manual "B" under you arm is too good to resist. A two manual beats the heck out of a single manual with bass split (for playability) and at half the weight; a no-brainer for me. Sure, i'd miss the drawbars, but life is full of compromises, besides, after listening to the demos, I'm not sure the XK-1 sounds THAT much better. JMO.

I think the XK1 sounds much better. :P

I have a Roland VR-760 Super Combo, which is a lot like the Nord ???. It has the VK8 drawbar section, a complete piano section and a synth section that accepts SRX boards too. For one manual, it's a great gigging board (but heavy )
