73 Key Organs

There are definitely benefits to each of the three main keyboard sizes (61-key, 73-key and 88-key), but most professionals agree that 73-key organs are the best choice for on stage performances. The reason is because they provide more versatility than 61-key models, yet are more compact than 88-key models (a big bonus if you're playing on a cramped stage). The popularity of 73-key organs also means that an impressive variety of models can be found on today's market. No doubt, with a little time spent in this section, you'll be sure to find a 73-key organ that suits your personal tastes and budget.

In the world of electronic keyboards, you'd be hard-pressed to find a musician who isn't familiar with the name Hammond. First introduced in 1935, the Hammond organ quickly became a hit with jazz musicians and could soon be spotted in smoke-filled nightclubs across the United States. Hammond offers top-rated 73-key organs here, including the Sk1-73 73-Key Professional Digital Keyboard/Organ. A part of Hammond's Sk Stage Keyboard Series, this is one of the company's most cutting-edge keyboards to date. It features amazing editing capabilities, 12 Factory Digital Tonewheel Profiles, Hi-Def Acoustic Grands, Electric Pianos, Brass, Synth and so much more. For legendary Hammond sound and control, the Sk1-73 is the answer you've been waiting for.

While you're at it, take a closer look at the Hammond XK-3C Drawbar Organ. The Hammond XK-3 (also known as the B-3) is an award-winning instrument that many pro-level players consider to be the standard by which all other organs are judged. The XK-3C follows in the footsteps of that organ, but also offers you the classic "tone-wheel" sound by employing 96-digital tone wheels. With this extra level of versatility, you can reproduce the characteristics of the vintage Hammond B-3. Along with other explosive features like better MIDI mapping options and improved dual tube preamp and overdrive, the XK-3C is an innovative, portable powerhouse that needs to be experienced firsthand.

When you get right down to it, 73-key organs provide just enough breathing room so that you can broaden your creative horizons without straining your back and bank account.
