HARMONIC DRAWBARS™
The XK-5 has 4 sets of nine Drawbars, two for each manual. The Harmonic Drawbars are the heart of the renowned Hammond Sound
and have been used since the first Hammond Organ Model A was introduced in 1935.
There are approximately 253,000,000 possible sound combinations that can be produced by these Drawbars. The illustration below
shows how each Drawbar relates to the manual when middle “C” is pressed.
Each Drawbar on the XK-5 is marked with a number followed by a footage mark. This follows the tradition of
Hammond Organs made starting from the late 60’s. For example, the first white Drawbar is marked “8’.” This is
pipe organ terminology indicating the length of a pipe necessary to produce the lowest note on the manual. If the 8’
Drawbar is pulled out and the playing key “C1” is pressed, the note produced would require a pipe eight feet long.
The diagram above shows the footage designations for each Drawbar.
Each Drawbar may be set in eight different positions in addition to the silent or “0” position. Each position, as
marked on the Drawbars, represents a different degree of intensity of the harmonic it controls. When drawn out to
position 1. the harmonic it represents will be present with minimum intensity, when drawn out to position 2 with
greater intensity, and so on up to position 8.
