Lesson 28 Getting Around on the Hammond Organ

[stephenv.]

first organ I ever heard in real time was a Hammond C2...first lessons were on this instrument...much much later I studied Pipe Organ. Two distinctly different instruments..similar in some ways...yet miles apart in most other. both distinct...Im pleased you are including the Hammond in your instruction videos...

[JoshuaCaudell]

This video makes me want to get a Hammond organ for a roman catholic church parish and start playing the Hammond organ for mass using the Schubert Mass setting Deutsche Messe on the Hammond organ.

+GuildofOrganists *The Hammond B-3 preceded the Organ Reform Movement* and is therefore weak on Pedal tones. One idea I have for Roland Corporation is an Infinity-based 3-manual and pedal in a 4-manual console frame; four sets of drawbars (one set each for Solo, Great, Positive, and Pedal), each 16'5-1/3'8'4'2-2/3'2'1-3/5'1-1/3'1', for a VirtualToneWheel engine, would occupy Manual IV's usual space; the demo model from Rodgers Instruments Division would ideally pack Harris live drawknobs in the over-drawbar rail as well as the stopjambs, to mitigate reach concerns for the couplers and generals.
