    Praise the Lord brother. I am Dana Owens not Queen Latifa no.same name as hers tho. But would tell you i love the sound of the XK2. I personally own quite a few clones Have a XK1 my self paid 400 for it in NY last August in Long Island... i aquired an Roland VK8 ,Korg BX3 1999 and 1979 version, And the Hammond XB1,XB2,XM module with xmc2 drawbar controller XB5 dual manaul very rare ,1973 Hammond X5. Too much to list. My B3 sounds come from clonewheels. With a neo Vent..2 vents top and bottom have seperate leslie sims

    Love the tiny chair! Sounds awesome. The xk-2 was my first introduction to the Hammond organ.

      LOL It was low to the floor which is where the keyboard was at the time. LOL I was just happy that it played fine after 10 years in storage.

      That's great!! They work and work. Hammond Suzuki can repair them. What are you playing it through? I use a 1122 interface and connect mine to a Leslie 142 or an 1147 and connect it to a Leslie 145. In a convention ballroom - it Rocks Daniels.

    In your professional opinion, do you think the xk series make a good attempt at sounding like the real b3? I have an xk1c that I have in my keyboard rig at church. Although it isn’t the real thing, I still take pride that my church has some sort of Hammond in it. To God be the glory. God bless you sir. You are a blessing to many musicians.

    • @ncilmo

      I believe that it is. If I were playing often, I would buy the XK5.

      Looking forward to reconnecting it to my Leslie 145. I will tighten up the screws in that in a few days. LOL

    Hey Doc! Question! Is it possible to plug in any Leslie to any organ and just play or is there some type of conversion that must be done?

    • @ncilmo
      @ncilmo  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No sir. The organ has to be properly wired or have the proper interface kit for the Leslie you are using. For example, to play this keyboard through a Leslie 147 - I use a Leslie 1147 interface kit and to play it through a Leslie 122 - I use a Leslie 1122 interface kit.

    • @zay2k709
      @zay2k709 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Can you do a tutorial on how to set up the interface kit or the rewiring process? Also just for clarification I have a Leslie 51 so I would need a Leslie 151 interface kit??

    • @ncilmo
      @ncilmo  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@zay2k709 - There is no interface kit for the 51. I guess you can change the relay in the 1147 but I have not done that. I just use a 147 or 122 amp. The relays made by Leslie are the 1147 and 1122 for the 147/145 and 122/142. I will be happy to do a video showing the 1147 kit in a few days though.

      Yes - I take it to church conferences and conventions - to the hotel ball room when there is no Hammond. Thank you so very much.

    We’ll I’d say that if you didn’t play for 10 years, you’re doing really good, fine playing there. Did you notice the orb at 1:14??

      The XK series does not have internal speakers. It is a professional keyboard that requires an external speaker or Leslie to be heard.
