In
my opinion the name "B-3" gathers every Hammond organ with the same kind
of tonewheel generator like A, B, C, RT series. I am a fanatic of those
and am proud of it. But when I wanna talk about them, I have to admit I
use the word B-3 as a kind of a shortcut, and I think a lot of people do
the same. I even know artists who use C-3's or A-100's in studio and write
"Hammond B-3" on the booklet of their CD's. Maybe It's a kind of a label
which involves a type of tonewheel generator. Keeping in mind that the
RT-3 is a little different, we all know the inside of all those organs
are exactly the same : the keyboard, motor, and generator of a unit were
all built independently from the model. Then each unit was assigned to
a wood cabinet. Once again, I have to admit my favorite cabinet is the
B-3 : the thin legs, the curves, the body... just a matter of taste. By
the way, take a look at the very first Hammond organ ever built, the model
A number 1 and the B-3 cabinet kind of look alike, don't they?...Please
don't say a love affair is absurd, the B-3 is the most famous organ ever,
the longest production of the Hammond factory, there must certainly be
a good reason. I live in a small appartment, no tons of money, an old car,
but I don't care at all, the world could crumble, I thank God every day
for giving me a Hammond and a Leslie. I thank Him twice it's a B-3 and
a 122.Best regards,?Marc.
