Hello,
I am looking for recommendations/advice on picking up a new keyboard which I initially thought to be for clavinet only, and that still may be my approach, but I am also considering it for Hammond secondarily (so maybe 75% Clav, 25% Hammond).
Luckily I already have a Roland RD for pianos so a fully weighted hammer action and piano sound are not important for this new purchase. The action should be better suited to clav and organ.
Some of the keyboards I have been considering include: Hammond SK"s, Roland V-Combo"s, Vox Continental, Viscount Legend 70"s, Crumar Mojo 61, and Crumar Seven
I"ve never bought a used instrument but was considering an SK-2 since the single set of drawbars would likely not be an issue and I might think to more or less 'permanently' assign clav to one manual (and organ to the other).
Something like the Viscount is attractive because it"s gorgeous and has a dedicated clav module; Its downsides are cost and most importantly this is probably the wrong keybed for clav and organ (although I notice some hammer action keyboards are criticized for being too light which in my case might be a positive).
Cost is not the driving factor⦠yet the thought that a $999 VR-09 could possibly fit the bill is attractive, and I admit I"ve often been a little put off in the past by the cost of some of the Nords⦠and some of the above fall into that same price tier.
Others I should consider? Thoughts about those I"ve listed for my needs?
Thanks in advance-
