wmp Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Good thing I have a little GAS money. SK1-73 9.3kg. If anybody can tell me what the SK1-88 weighs you're very good at googling organs. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcS Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It probably is pretty close to the weight of the SK-1-73 plus the difference between it and the SK-1. (9.3 + 2.3 = 11.6 +/-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEB Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Because that is the way the Nord 73 is. Heck they are probably using the same 3rd party keyboard.

(9.3 + 2.3 = 11.6 +/-) I've always preferred a weighted 88 for piano, but having it all in a gig bag is very appealing. How much I like it will depend a lot on how I like the feel with the other sounds I guess. I think I'm already sold. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Coda Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Because that is the way the Nord 73 is. Heck they are probably using the same 3rd party keyboard. That´s why I don´t have a NORD 73 ! The only keyboard I owned w/ a keybed F - F was a clavinet D6. In fact, I expect an instrument w/ Hammond in the name to be much more a organ than anything else extra voice thingy. The NUMA has that C - C Fatar keybed which appears more logical to me because it can be used as preset switches local or a full manual over MIDI as also control a GSi VB3 on the DAW by switching preset textfiles using the lower octave. I really don´t see the point H/Z has to copy a NORD design. A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The only keyboard I owned w/ a keybed F - F was a clavinet D6. And, btw, the entire span of a clavinet (actually 60 key, F to E) is still encompaseed within a 73 C-to-C. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

Craig MacDonald Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I assume that this was the "big" announcement that Scott May was referring to a couple of weeks ago.. Does anyone really think that the extra voices in the SK series are really good enough that to warrant an 88 note weighted action keyboard? Sorry, unless the EV's are significantly improved I don't see this being a big seller. That said, if they put a really good acoustic piano in it, add some additional sample storage, and get to work building a better sample library, it could do quite well.

That said, if they put a really good acoustic piano in it, add some additional sample storage, and get to work building a better sample library, it could do quite well. Can't happen. I do wonder about F F keyboards and the only way I can make sense of it is that a lot of organ jazz is in flats so perhaps Nord and Hammond think their market would prefer that range. Personally, I'm hating the lack of a low E on my NS273 - especially when I have to cover LH bass. Octave shift works, but sure is disorientating. ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksoper Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'd be all over this fuckin keyboard if I had fallen in love with it when I demoed it. The SK line just didn't light me up.

JMcS Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The Hammond Europe site has some info: Hammond EU Also click on Download and then Brochure. The 88 key version is semi weighted and seems to default to 2 44 key organ manuals. I didn't see anything about how the 73 defaults. I haven't read everything yet. Weight SK1: 7 kg (15,43 lbs) SK1-73: 9,3 kg (20,50 lbs) SK1-88: 11,6 kg (25,57 lbs) SK2: 16 kg (35,27 lbs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmp Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It's exactly 11.6 kg. Did you cheat? It suddenly becomes important to check out the "other" sounds on the SK1, RTFM, and whatnot. I do hope I like the feel of the thing. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
