For me XK5 gives me the same feel and sound of my vintage B3. Multicontact keyboards, great preamp with real tubes, the vibrato/chorus scanner sounds like the original ... the Leslie on break and just the chorus ... just like the famous Blue Note Records.

"I am very happy to annouce that as of today, I have becomen an official member of the Hammond Family. After playing and feeling the XK-5 of a number of occassions I felt Hammond was the way to go for me and after meeting the team at Hammond HQ in Vianen there was a mutual click which resulted in me becoming a Hammond Artist.

Thank you Hammond Europe for having me"

Hi All, Finally we're about to release the second album with the band Free From Sin and yours truly on keyboards. I promise there´s a lot of XK-5 on this one! So, if you're into heavy metal meets DP and Rainbow, get the CD. :)

It was such an incredible experience playing at the Holland International Blues Festival with Laurence Jones! Definitely the highlight of the year so far! Thank you to Marco van Rooijen of BluesMagazine for capturing this moment!

My very first public performance with the xk-5. Very unusual setting since usually I'm playing in a rock band. This time I was playing only with a sax playser (Heiner Grieder) at the opening of an exhibition of his photographic work.
