Subject:Re: Hammond XK-5 and 3 Contacts

I'm really looking forward to trying the XK5.

One personal observation:

One of the ways that Hammond has featured the key contact separation in
their promotional videos is to have the player perform a light glissando.
Not all the tones fire. Very impressive. However...I happened to be sitting
at my 1956 B3 when I watched one of those videos and attempted to replicate
the same effect. No matter how lightly I did the glissando, I didn't get
near the separation on my B3 that they achieved in the video. Most of the
tones still fired. My wonder is if the contact separation is to wide. But,
that question will get answered when I actually get to play one.
