CEB Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I am thinking of getting the second manual for the XK3c while I still can. How is it best transported, two seperate cases or one case for the assembled pair? I have never used or even touched the second manual in person.

kanker. Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I realized that I don't gig with my XK-3c as a single keyboard, so I had a case made for them, one case for the assembled pair. It's a bit heavy or course, but it's simple. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks. That is what I was thinking of doing. I didn't know how well the 2 pieces rode together assembled or how well they locked together. If I want to just use the single board I have my original case. Thanks again. "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

The Real MC Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have one case for the XK3 itself for those gigs where the lower manual isn't needed, and another case for the XK3 and lower manual assembly. The weight of the dual manual assembly isn't that bad, and it takes up less room than separate cases for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Force Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I had a case made for the lower. Works well. Steve Force, Durham, North Carolina -------- My Professional Websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyClicker Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I guess the main thing is... Do you take your Xk-3 on Gigs solo? Or, do you always play the Xk-3 with your lower manual? That would be the key thing to me if I was considering one/two cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't own a lower manual. But I am thinking of getting the lower manual after this summer season ends before Hammond takes it out of production or completely changes the XK system. I already have a roadcase for the XK3c main board. I was interested in case options if I use a dual manual setup. I figured one big case would take up less cargo room than 2 seperate cases.
