Tis true, George, tis true. Many of you already know that my 6-year old girl has already taken a LARGE interest in the electronics and mechanical end of Hammonds. She has expressed to me that "while she likes the organ music and would like to learn to play someday, right now she wants to learn how to fix it" Hmmmmmmm. She's already helped me clean the drawbar assembly and helped change all the pusher springs on my pedal board. This last weekend, she learned to solder. Scarrrrry!! A new Hammond tech on the way, folks!!

Many thanks Jim.

Jim, I think it's great that you are getting the instrument for your
daughter. I started playing the organ when I was in Jr. High and I'm so
grateful that I had parents who encouraged me and supported that interest.

Tell her she can make jewelry with a soldering iron too! George

Actually, the "main" vocal part is called "yodelling" in
English......I don't know WHAT you'd call the "strange" vocal
part.....STRANGE comes to mind, I think you were correct all along!(
hehe)

yep

Yes it was him that played the flute part in HOCUS POCUS. He also

did

that strange vocalpart.

that's yodelling

But the man looks very old, but also very friendly. He's bold and
gray.

LOL dont expect to stay young forever mate! Such is life HOWEVER

you

should stick to something very important that you just said that
makes everything else absolutely irrelevant - he's friendly!

Hi Jim,
Is it the 8122/8222 series Aurora. One fault I have had a couple of times
on these is a transistor in the power supply. The +24volt regulator if I
remember, if it shorts, it puts +35 volts on all the relevant circuits.
Doesn't actually do any harm (I wouldn't leave it switched on for too long
though!) but does stop things working & gives a loud hum.

Hi Ale,

Cant say I *know* but I have a pretty good idea that Italy has great
jazz and progrock musicians in reasonable abundance (well they're
never too many LOL) HOWEVER I have to point the finger - why do you
keep them to yourselves, then??? And this is not just an Italian
thing. The same happens throughout entire Europe - there was and
there is good music being made out there but ohh its all very hush
hush cloak and dagger! Who ever heard of Galician fusion? Well there
is - I have a tape - and blimey thats bloody good music! Ashamed of
what? Bring them forward I beg you! We need new values asap! Back to
Hammondland I couldnt care less if they happen to play the dodgiest
clone on earth as long as they're delivering!

Cheers

Hi chris, Thanks for the reply, i am not sure of the exact model because i
havent picked it up yet. I will send you a picture of it .where abouts is
this faulty bit usually located, I only paid ?40 for it but its a 550 mile
round trip to pick it up. Thanks again jim.

I just knew t would be the one.

HI George, I never had any opportunities as a child, I came from a family of
eight children, so it would have been impossible to go for tuition. so i
give my children any help i can.JIM.

Actually Led Zep lads could occasionally cross Progland borders here
and there. The 8-minute Stairway to Heaven landmark I'd say is quite
prog-ish - the crescendo, the elusive almost eerie lyrics, the
solo's introductory bridge full of majestic pomp "Make way for the
Ki... no the Page! Mr. Page!!!". It's all there, really...

PS add to my previous prog list
boring lifeless so-self-contained technocrat prog - Why its the Alan
Parsons Project of course! LOL

Gerald Bostock aka Little Milton... Still keeping the vynil all these
years the only reason being the faux newspaper cover - CD cant
compete with that! I played it so many times (much to my sister's
despair... and my doubled rejoice hehehe...) I literally wore the
record!

Jethro Tull taking THE ultimate piss! No quarter!

Now being the guitar my instrument of choice, I have to concede
Aqualung the honours...

Always look and check for yourself (or get a qualified service

Hi Julian,
The type of volume control pedal that connects inline between the keyboard
and amplifier should work. If you're looking for a pedal that plugs into
the back of the XB2 things get a bit less certain. If the pedal you want to
use has the same type of connector, e.g. ???" jack, then there's a fairly good
chance that it'll work. I know the pedal on the XE-1 uses a special multi
pin plug and hooks into the keyboards computer circuits rather than the
audio. If the XB uses this type of pedal your best bet would be to use an
inline control between the keyboard and amp.

Hello All,

Anyone know if I have to use the Hammond volume pedal with my XB2. I will
likely buy a Hammond pedal but can't get one locally and I have a gig
tonight.......will a regular keyboard volume pedal work?

Thanks,

Julian
