De Hammond XT-172 / XT-173

De Hammond XT 172 werd in Amerika Aurora Classic genoemd naar zijn memorabele voorloper. In Europa heette hij XT 173 Aurora Grande. Het was net als de voorloper een orgel met veel mogelijkheden, maar in een meubel van bescheiden omvang, zonder dat dit ten koste ging van een fraaie "theatrale uitstraling"
