Hi hammond peeps,
An acquaintance says his friend says he needs to tune his Hammond, and they wondered if they could do it using a tuning app of some sort.
(we're very used to tuning harpsichords, using PitchLab, tuning forks, and years ago by getting up at 4 am when it was quiet and counting beats)(we prefer a=415, quarter comma meantone).?
I played B3 a lot for 13 years, intermittently after that, but it never occurred to me that a B3 could go out of tune, without having something be broken/needing adjustment.
We had occasional problems that a Hammond tech needed to address, one time during a gig the whole organ's tone suddenly ran down (and I immediately turned off the B3!).?
Anyhow -- my impression has been that normally one does NOT mess with tuning on a Hammond.? Appreciate any thoughts/info on this, thanks.? Gesine?
