Intended use

Use Organists who want the full classic B-3 console experience — two 61-key waterfall manuals, four sets of real drawbars, 12 preset keys per manual, a 25-note radial pedalboard, and a tube preamp — without the maintenance of a vintage tonewheel organ. Well suited to church, jazz, gospel, and studio settings where the traditional console format, bench, and pedalboard matter, and where the internal two-rotor digital Leslie or an external 11-pin Leslie cabinet will be used.
Not for Despite the listing's 'Synthesizer' label, this is a drawbar organ, not a synthesizer — skip it if you need synth engines, pianos, or general keyboard sounds. Gigging players who move gear themselves should also skip it: the console alone is 95 kg (209 lbs) and 132 kg (291 lbs) with bench and pedalboard; Hammond's stage keyboards (e.g. the XK series) cover the same tonal territory in portable form. It has no built-in speakers listed, so you will need an amp, Leslie, or PA.

Description

Product details

The Hammond B-3 mk2 is a dual-manual console organ that recreates the original tonewheel B-3 in the digital domain. Its manuals are driven by Hammond's DTW1 digital tone-wheel generator, with all 91 pitches continuously generated, while the pedal division uses the VASE III engine. It has two 61-key waterfall manuals with multi-contact keying, a 25-key radial flat pedalboard, twelve mechanical-latch preset keys per manual, four sets of nine-pitch harmonic drawbars plus two pedal drawbars, digital-scanner vibrato/chorus (V1-C3), touch-response percussion, an internal two-rotor digital Leslie, and a vacuum-tube preamp (12AU7 overdrive, 12AX7 buffer). Connections include stereo line in/out, pedal out, headphones, MIDI in/out plus MIDI pedal in, and an 11-pin Leslie interface; settings are stored on a CompactFlash card. The console ships with a bench, pedalboard, music rack, Leslie speed switch, and accessories, weighing 95 kg for the console alone and 132 kg with bench and pedalboard.
