The Hammond SK Pro 73-key Keyboard/Organ is a versatile powerhouse designed for the modern musician who demands authenticity and flexibility. Known for its heritage in producing the iconic tonewheel organs, Hammond has taken a bold step forward with the SK Pro, offering four distinct sound engines that cater to a wide array of musical styles. Whether you're drawn to the lush tones of a classic drawbar organ or crave the punchy character of a transistor combo, the SK Pro delivers with precision and depth.

Its Modelled Tone Wheel 1 (MTW1) sound engine, derived from the flagship XK-5, ensures that you get the classic Hammond organ sound, enriched by the Digital Leslie effect for that unmistakable swirling tone. The Piano/Ensemble engine provides high-resolution samples of celebrated grand pianos and a range of ensemble voices, including strings and choirs, all fully editable for personalized sound crafting. Meanwhile, the Mono Synth engine brings the warmth of analog modeling to your fingertips, with real-time control over oscillators, filters, and amplitude.

Intuitive controls such as pitch bend and modulation wheels enhance expressive playability, while the large color display keeps you informed. The SK Pro’s ability to seamlessly switch tones and its generous patch storage make it a reliable companion on stage or in the studio.
