So excited to unbox my sk pro yesterday, but to my disappointment I knew within a couple hours that it had to be retuned. I really wanted to like the sk pro, but there was no comparison. Compared side by side with my electro 5d the Leslie simulator on the Hammond is better, organs are very comparable when you set them the same - but everything else, the Nord blows the Hammond completely out of the water. Nord pianos, clavs, and rhodes make the Hammond sound like a toy

I downsized to the k8 as my monitor years ago and never looked back. Simpler and lighter is always better for me, and it sounds good.

I cut what I needed off from my crossbar to the desired length and duplicated the slot. Round off the edges then touch up with a little black paint, works great - solid as a rock

Hi Bennyray, I am really loving the NE5d. Had a hard time deciding between it or a Hammond SK1, but I am happy with my decision. I have gigged with it 4 times now and even the other band members comment on the improved sound. The user interface is performance oriented, user friendly, and the quality of the patches has inspired me to practice for longer periods of time. Only downside is that the initial cost is high, but Nords seem to hold their value well and I plan on keeping it for a long while. Next goal is to get it paid off, lol!

I recently received shipment of a Nord Electro 5D 73 to replace my NE2 61
