Hi, Im looking into buying an XK3 system with lower manual and legs.

This may not help much because I'm in the US; my whole system ran about $4800.00; $2000
for the XK3 board (local Hammond dealer) $150+ for the expression pedal and $2725 for the
lower manual and the stand (Music123). I did not buy the pedals or the bench. You can buy
the 'euro' set cheaper with the smaller lower manual and the metal stand, but it's a little too
metrosexual for my tastes. The system is fun because it feels so solid and stable. Everything
fits in a Ford Explorer, along with another keyboard and 3 amps, etc. You can use the top for
the piano board. It's portable, no one piece is all that heavy. Looks good, too. I had a voce
V5 that I sold when I got all this. It's a fine instrument, but I like the HS stuff better.
