Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial. I wasn't considering buying an SKX until I watched your video. I can see more possibilities now after watching you cover all the important features. I live in Memphis, TN so I can't visit your store but again thanks for making the video.

Many thanks Pat!

This is the best video on the Hammond keyboard I have seen. I have an SK1 and there are demos on line that extract wonderful tones out of the SK1 , but none show how to dial them in. The user manual is intimidating. Your demo takes out the mystery and has some really useful pointers. Thanks you so much.

@Caden Dallas Thanks for the tip. Ben

Awesome tutorial! Lots of optional functions! Love Hammond!! Thank you!!! 🎹

This is the video that I was looking for!! Thanks for sharing

Excellent, detailed demo of this awesome instrument!!! Thank you, so much!!.

Excellent, excellent demo of this great Hammond board!

Really, really useful, Tony! As usual, you did not disappoint.

Thanks so much for giving me the Ice Castles earworm on the way to work this morning, much appreciated. 👍

Thank you so much for this wonderfully informative video. I plan on purchasing the SKX with the full twenty pedals. Now I know that I'm not the only one who knows the "Theme from Ice Castles", haha.

Excellent video and presentation Tony, I got my SKX at the end of February after getting a good price for my SK2, I have to say I'm delighted with it, (worth it for the extra drawbars) I think I might have been one of the first to get one in the UK. The dealer I bought mine from (NW England) hasn't done anything to promote it at all, so full credit to you and Bonners for taking the time to produce this video. Anyone thinking of buying one I would say go for it, you wont regret it, also if your a home player like me, the Roland BK-7m (which I DID buy from Bonners) makes the perfect partner for the SKX 👍

Really helpful - thank you so much. Nice playing too : )

Very thorough information. Thank you!

Tony, I've always appreciated your ability to demonstrate, but more importantly, TEACH about the musical instruments you sell. Wish I was in the Southern U.K. because I would sure like to meet you one day, but it's one helluva commute from the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. to the U.K. Still, I listen, I watch, and I learn, and one of these days I'm going to upgrade my Korg PA800 to a PA4X, or the follow on, and I so want a Hammond Organ to learn on. I'd be so happy with an XK-3C Legacy model, but Hammond doesn't make them anymore. Would love to see you do a demo like this of the XK-5 and something like the Korg KX-55 or the Roland BK-7m

Love this organ keyboard instrument I want to buy one of these

If this isn't sold out by Christmas I'M GETTING THIS FOR SURE!!!

Great video as always!!

More to it than meets the eye - better start saving!

THANKS!...your video is very helpful

Great Organ I always used to have Hammonds my first was an Acetone & then T500 .If changing I would be looking at the SKX with Pedals etc.I only play Home organs & self taught .I like my own organ which I will keep but have a keyboard as well but not keen on this.

Thank you so much - very clear

Thank you for this it’s really useful

Great tutorial. Just got mine this week. Awesome keyboard. Where do you get your backing tracks from ?

What I hate about Guitar Center, is they are listed as a Hammond dealer on the Hammond website, but when I go to any Guitar Center, they do not have one Hammond/Leslie on their showroom floors. What I like about the new Hammond Sk series, they now have pedal sustain and ProChord.

Great demo and tutorial. Out of interest, what are the chords you’re playing from 10.30 to the end of that gospel bit? I can’t see your hands clearly enough, unfortunately. Thanks

Great demo! How did you get those backing tracks? Are there any funk horn sections available?

Dear Tony , Awesome demonstration of the song- Funk #49 !!! Could you kindly put a link to the full performance of that song on the SKX? Thank you very much. 💞Love from Singapore🇸🇬.

Darn! I was just in London and didn’t see this video until I got home. What is the model number for the stand? I haven’t seen that in the US...

Thanks Tony for the excellent demonstration. Will the organ still sound good without using the foot pedal keys? Thanks, Jerry.

Wonderfull thing !

Can you get a piano sound on the top manual and string/organ bass on the lower, and can the bass be split? Just curious....

Can you use the inbuilt effects with a guitar...? Is there any way to get a guitar signal through?

Sure wish it could replicate the B200 and B300. But it looks like a fun organ!

Great..................

I can’t believe this in only like 2000, my Yamaha digital Piano was 4000 and pales in comparison

Does the SK 25 pedalboard fit under that SKx stand?! I have a SK 25 on backorder, and read it won't fit with the Hammond SKx stand? edit, it does, sorta! The SK 25 is max width of 42.75", the SK stand is 38" wide, so you have to have the pedals protrude out front. I found another stand that will work in the same way, but it's a little wider at 46.4" so it won't protrude as much. Hammond needs a better solution for those of us who want full pedals with our SK's

This was great! Maneuvering through the SKX book is confusing at times. What speakers are you using?

I believe Hammond is discontinuing the SKX. Anyone knows if there will be a substitute?

do I need external speaker for sound

Hi. Thank you for an interesting guide. Very easy to follow. However, I still have my Hammond SK1, and I am trying to do what you demonstrate from minute 16, namely combine grand piano with string and organ. This means layer two sounds from the extra voice section and combine them with organ. I can't figure out how to do that on my SK1. Maybe it isn't possible? Which means one can only select one sound from extra voice and combine it with organ? Might you or anybody help? Thanks, sincerely greetings from Stein.

It's not possible to layer to voices on the SK1. That is a unique feature of the SKX.

A number of places online say that the SKX has 10 banks as to this video that says 8 banks. Was there a change to the number of banks?

@danielmiddleman8613

Ok, after watching more of the video I guess they are adding the 2 banks of extra voices that you mention to the 8 banks.

The acoustic pianos sound really good. As with the other SKs, I'm not impressed with the electric pianos, and though this was tempting, I went with the GSI Gemini/DMC combo because the B3 is just as good and the Rhodes/clav/Wurli are better.

What is the model of the pedalboard you are using?

Do ya have a store near Paramus, New Jersey? Sam Ash sucks.

The only thing i dont like is that you dont have a space to put your phone or a tablet. They dont evwn make a notebook holder. 🥺🥺🥺

Love my sk2 but the piano patches are bloody awful - really can’t bare to use them, my ancient yam p60 is waaay! Better thank god the Rhodes is so good on sk2 😊

I also have one and think as you. In the SKX they improved the acoustic piano?

This is an organ , but i had to wait 27 mn to ear an organ sound from it ! I mean, if you demonstrate a sportscar, how long before we can ear the sound of the engine ?

I want one, but I've already sold my children...

Where is Dr Evil’s “Layer”😂😂😂😂

I closed this video at 50 seconds..... keyboard???? Hammond is an organ company sir..... yes it has keyboard capabilities but this is an electric organ.
