Korg BX3 Combo Organ Customer Review

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

After playing B-3s for many years I eventually grew tired of lugging around 400+ lbs. As a result, I have eagerly awaited and evaluated each new generation of Hammond tonewheel organ clones. The Korg BX3 is, in my opinion, about the closest one can get in sound, feel and looks to the real thing. Although expensive, it really delivers a very convincing palette of sounds, plays like a B, and outshines any Hammond, Roland, Oberheim or Voce product. While I originally had planned to play the BX3 through a 145 Leslie, the on-board rotary speaker simulator is so good (in contrast to the terrible one on Roland's VK series, for example)that I will leave the Leslie at home.

Feature:

The BX3 features a wealth of user-configurable sounds and functions. In fact, the level of customization possible with the keyboard would be overwhelming if it weren't so easy and intuitive to program. I usually shy away from reading product manuals and didn't break from tradition when I bought my BX3. Within ten minutes of using it, however, I had figured how out to adjust and set all of the sound and function parameters.

Quality:

This is a very solid feeling and looking instrument. The fit and finish are superb and it is most definitely sturdy enough to use on the road. The BX3 is so beatiful, however, that I may confine its use to my recording studio and continue to use the Hammond XK-2/Leslie out to gigs even though this combo simply doesn't come close in sound and feel.

Manufacturer Support:

I have only owned the product for a short period of time and therefore don't have any experience with Korg's customer support yet.

Value:

This is an expensive instrument but worth every penny....

The Wow Factor:

Anyone who loves the Hammond sound and has lusted after owning a B3 will want to have this product. As I noted earlier, it's about as close as you can come to the real thing...

Overall:

I love this keyboard...it's perhaps the best musical instrument purchase that I have ever made over a 40 year playing and performing career.

"KORG BX-3 There is no substitute!"

Sound:

Close your eyes and listen. It's the real thing. I owned the original BX-3 and it was awesome. This one is unreal!

Feature:

It's a Hammond B3 only better. The expression pedal and foot switches are solid and work well. With the stand it looks like a modern cleaned up B3.

Quality:

Solid and the wood is real. With road cases... there is no stopping you.

Manufacturer Support:

KORG is the best! They even have online downloads to upgrade their products.

Value:

It is worth every penny.

The Wow Factor:

GREAT Appeal!

Overall:

For a very long time. The last BX-3 from Korg is still being used around the world.
