Tuning a B3?????


 

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?
