BBC Radio 4
I need a hand Guys and Girls,
Alan Hall (BBC Radio 4) just called. He has a 20 minute program going out at the end of March about The Hammond Organ and the Song "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Gary Brooker will be on (pity Matthew Fisher wont be) Alan asked me to explain what it is about the Hammond Organ- to quote- 'that swirling sound' that makes this track so special. Here is the catch..I have two to three minutes to do it in. If you have any ideas how to concisely define the Hammond Sound in the context of "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" I would be realy gratefull of any ideas. I don't think I am the best choice realy, but I have a few ideas. Darren |

Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie(ron)
Ron Bell
Hi Jeff,

I know you have a 26-1 kit now, but do you have the 5 pin connector to go with it? If you do here is how to hook it up. I will tell you the pin numbers as well as the wire colors of the 5 pin incase you have to make one up. The 5 pin connector is the part that gets wired to the A-100. Mount the 26-1 kit on the inside right of the A-100 cabinet, it is close to the AC and the AO-39 plus it is the only place that has enough room:) Cut the black and green wires leading from the AO-39 amp to the speakers some where in the middle.(somewhere so that the wires from the 5 pin console connector will reach.) Splice the black wire leading to pin 1 with the black wire from the speaker and the black wire from the amp. Use a wire nut to join them, a little solder would not hurt either. Solder the gray wire leading to pin 2 to AC.( the best place to get the AC is under the metal shielding on the far right of the AO-28, remove the two screws and you will see a blue and gray terminal) Hook the green wire leading to pin 3 to the green wire leading to the speaker.Use a wire nut. Solder the blue wire leading to pin 4 to other half of AC. Hook the red wire leading to pin 5 to the green wire leading to the AO-39 amp. Use a wire nut. I almost forgot, there are two ways to feed the wires from the switches to the back of the organ. The first way is to strip the wires back on both the switches and twist them together so both wires or attached. Get a coat hanger and straighten it out, put a small bend at the end so you can use it to fish the wires through. If you look at the front left of the organ under the manuals, you will see a gap about 1/4 inch or so with a strip of felt that runs the length of the organ. Feed the wires through the gap, they will have to go 6 or 7 inches in before you can see them from the rear. Grab them with the coathanger-fish-thing from the back, watching out for the oiling threads on the start motor, and thats it. It can be a pain but they will go through. The second way is to lift the manuals, but try the fish thing first it is a lot less work. Use some plastic zip ties to keep all the wires neat and tidy and you are done!! Cheers, Ron Bell. ----- Original Message -----

Re: Quatermass band
ronbell145
I copied this from the Gibralter encyclopedia of prog rock. I have
never heard of them before but it is definatley on "to get" list now. Here is the link to the encyclopedia, Power trio of keyboard, bass and drums. Straddling the line between hard rock and prog, there's a little something here to appease fans of both styles. Keyboards apparently just piano and organ, with the latter being especially hot-wired to make the keyboardists' style resemble Frumpy keyboardist Jean-Jacques Kravetz, or perhaps Dave Stewart at his most maniacal (see "Dreams Wide Awake" for an example). He can lash out at his organ with a recklessness that puts Emerson to shame, listen to the solo on "Post War, Saturday Echo" if you don't believe me. Bass player John Gustafson (pre-Roxy Music) sings in a uncontrolled, manic voice that can often sound gut- wrenching. A couple of tracks (the ballad "Good Lord Knows" and the lengthy jam-orientated "Laughin' Tackle" include massed strings. -- Mike Ohman Heavy prog. Features Peter Robinson, later of Brand X. Robinson's organ is predominant instrument. Just a snippet about Quatermass, a band I just had cause to look up: it may amuse GEPR users to know that bassist John (then "Johnny") Gustafson began his career in a sub-Beatles, matching suits-and-ties type beat "combo" called The Big Three. There were, indeed, three of 'em - clearly trios were his thing. -- Roger Thomas Cheers, Ron Bell. |

Re: [hammond_zone] ss relais
Michael Casino
Be careful with the solid state relays.
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
Not all SS Relays are the same. They come in a variety of flavors. The control voltages can be from 5 vdc to 48 vdc Or 24 vac thru 240 vac You have to read the specifications carefully. In any case they only turn on or off the output. SPST They do not act like the relay in the leslie tube amplifier. SPDT The unit you saw at golf is specialy constructed. This is why he can get that price. Mike Casino ----- Original Message -----

Quatermass band
Hi from Italy,
I've just finished to listen a great prog work, dated 1970. It's performed by Quatermass from the omonimous album. Do you know this album? Someone else of you heared it? It's superb! The Hammond sound and tecnique are amazing. I think that it should be considered a prog masterpiece. If you haven't got it...buy or copy it! This is a must-have for the Hammond army!! :) What a Hammond hell there...ciao Ale Ouch! the organist was Peter Robinson. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: |

Re: [hammond_zone] CV and two tone cabiniets
I agree with Lyle. I'm very familier with CV/BVs and 900.00 bucks is a stretch even if everything works...Eddie

and then turning around and selling it for a profit, it aint gonna fly.$900 is a little steep for a CV that might not work or even for a working one. If the generator fired up it should have worked in the cold, could be a simple thing like a tube or an amp that needs to be rebuilt, who knows. Make a low offer 3 or 4 hundred, see what happens.

Re: [hammond_zone] CV and two tone cabiniets
Hi Brian,
Don't offer him very much for the lot, you don't know what is wrong with any of the equipment and it all may only be a source of parts. If the organ and TC's are worth so much to him, why is he storing them in a shed? As a point of info, a very good friend just bought an excellent B3 in great working order that included a PR40 for less than $2000.00. That was the retail price. I would have to look at the equipment in a warmed up situation before I would offer anything and at that point, I may not be willing to pay more than $400.00. And, that would be in working condition with everything there and not poorly cared for. I would be very cautious and I am a Hammond Master Tech who knows what is going on.

Re: [hammond_zone] CV and two tone cabiniets
Brian Williams
Raul,
your description is accurate. It does have a metal grille on top and it does have reverb as when I let go of the Start/run switch I heard that reverb sound. But the thing never did play. I noticed that the keys on that thing were nicer than a b3's keys. Made of heavy duty plastic.

Re: [hammond_zone] CV and two tone cabiniets
Randall Bush
Brian:
The tone cabinet is probably a D-20 or DR-20. It's tall and narrow with a grille on the top and louvers halfway up on one side. The DR has reverb. My 1948 CV came with a DR-20 when it was new.
