During time I have had and played many different Hammond organs. Each and
every one of them having its very own personallity. Everybody talks about
the B3 as being the ultimate Hammond, but I am not one of them. For me the
B3 is a great organ, but by fare the only one within the Hammond family.

I know what you mean regarding the cabinet and the feeling. There is
something special to it, especially put next to a XK2 or XB1. No doubt. But
then again these two junior models are not supposed to replace the B3 or for
that matter the XB3. They only help you being mobile and saves you back!
They represent a compromise in that respect, and as such they do a great
job. I know I have played some places where I am happy to be alive due to
the XK2 as in fact I could not have managed to have had the B moved into
these small rooms and up and down the stairs.

B3 is a representative for what Hammond made back in the mid ?50s. But
looking for the authentic Hammond you have to go back to the beginning, and
here you find a different sound. The discussion can go on and on, becourse
different sound also relate to different music, I know. Main point for me is
though that I do not appriciate the fanatic B3 attitude, it kind of limits
the idea and the music as intended by Hammond in the first place.

Best regards
Lars

Dear Lars,
I don`t think Hammond will ever die. Its sound fits in
too many places for it to ever be replaced. I`m a
newbie to keyboards but I can tell a clone from the real
thing even when I can`t tell you what chord is being
played. I don`t think me and my XK2 are gonna be
together for long. Its something about sitting behind
that big hunk of wood and playing Gods music that makes
me and angels cheer. Somebody else said in another
post, Having a Hammond is a love affair. I`m gonna have
me a real B3 soon and a house to go with it. My XK2
will be gathering dust! Casey


P.S. I`m also an electronic technician. I`m gonna
start repairing Hammonds, too.
