Korg BX-3 Dual Manual Combo Organ with Flightcase Pre-Owned
Safe and secure checkout
This is a vintage Korg BX-3 dual manual combo organ, complete with a flightcase.
The BX-3 is one of Korg’s best-known vintage organ instruments — a portable, stage-friendly take on the classic dual-manual organ layout. Rather than being a full console organ, it gives you that proper two-manual playing experience in a much more manageable format, making it a popular choice for players after Hammond-style sounds without the size and weight of a traditional tonewheel organ.
It features two manuals, footage tabs for both upper and lower sections, percussion controls, chorus/vibrato, key click, overdrive and rotary effect switching, along with signal outputs and accessory connections on the rear panel.
This one is a well-used vintage example with honest cosmetic wear and includes the flightcase, which is a big plus if it’s being bought for transport, storage or gigging use.
What does it actually sound like?
The BX-3 is very much aimed at that classic organ territory — bright, cutting, slightly gritty and expressive, with plenty of control over the tone through the footage tabs and onboard voicing controls.
It won’t be the same thing as a full vintage Hammond tonewheel console, but it does have that proper old-school organ feel and is far more convincing and characterful than a lot of generic home organs from the same era.
