Re: A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Hi all fellow Hammondeers!
If you look at Matthew Fisher's web site he states quite categorically that the organ used on this track was indeed an M series organ, an M102 if I remember correctly. A friend of mine used to do organ club gigs on an L100 with a 145 Leslie and also he had a regular gig at a restaurant called the "Fleur De Lys" near Walsall England and it became a bit of a mecca for organ nuts, the organ there was an L100 with a 122 Leslie and very good it sounded too, he produced some pretty good bluesy sounds and although not up to the standard of the C3 or B3 it was easier to carry around split than the C or B would have been. Best Wishes to all. Amanda Hambidge |

If you follow this link, you'll find a diagram of a Leslie connector kit; . He's used the diagram for a Wurlitzer kit, but if you ignore the piggy-back adapter bottom left and just look at the red, green and black wires coming from it to the kit you'll get the idea. The red wire takes the signal coming from your organ amp (break into the green wire to the speakers), the green wire connects to the organ speakers and the black wire goes to organ ground, most conveniently the terminal on the speakers where the original black wire is connected.

Re: [hammond_zone] new member
That sounds like an old church organ well before the B3 era. I have seen one
like that at a church here in SW Detroit. An old flame from years ago had a Hammond quite like that one. It had a similar speaker cabinet, but had a rotating sound to it, yet there were no rotating baffles or cones inside this cabinet. It had the lushest, most prominent sound . The pedal seemed to have too much delayed attack, and would not get to full volume on the short notes. Sounds interesting. Jimmy |

Not really, you have joined a group of the most knowledgable and helpful people that I have had the privilege to know where Hammonds and Leslies are concerned. Ron and Chris just keep something going all the time.

Re: e100
Ron is right in his descriptions..although in the UK ?1000 for a
console organ...If its in good condition I would say thats exactly the right price as long as its in good working condition. What other console could you buy that is serviceable and sounds as great? Gotta say though..if your into Jazz/Blues etc its probably not the one for you as there are no second or third harmonic percussion voices as Ron pointed out. I would classify this as a 'church' or 'classical' model now...funny eh?, isn't that what they were designed for???? Darren PS its great to have my cable modem back...pity my hard drive has packed up now... i'm on the lappy! |

That Lenny Dee sound is interesting... I knew him reasonably well about 30 years ago, and that is a long story.

I don't even know if he is still living. I do know that his preferred instrument, before the X-66 mod, was a Model A mod. He was not a B-3 fan and even liked to play an A-100 in preference to the B-3 He rewired the back, and worked in a Solovox to get some of those great wild sounds. Although many did not know it, he also played the hell out of the presets. He was a whole organ guy. More than once I watched him hold down the release key with the little finger of his left hand and play the presets like regular keys, in particular the A# and B, with a strong contrast on the draw bars. He was always very nice to me and I really liked him very much. He could get a hell of a lot out of a Hammond, but he liked his Leslie and you all know that story.. ----- Original Message -----
From: Lyle C Felix To: hammond_zone@... Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [hammond_zone] Looke here,looke here, Have you seen this yet???? Now, why didn't I think of that. This new B3 could be really something. But, as I think about the generator being a digital production of the original B3 sound, I can only imagine that they are using a sampling process. This method would mean that they are just cloning one of the original tonewheel generators (all 96 pitches as they state). Cloning the B3 sound digitally was done in the Super B prior to Hammond/Suzuki and after the original Hammond organ Company was closed. I had heard that the original Hammond company had done most of the development but it was not completed until after the company was sold to the gentleman in Australia. The Super B did not sell for very long. It only sampled a very small portion of the full generator and we all know that each and every tonewheel has it's own personality which creates the unique unduplicatable sound of all tonewheel Hammonds. This fact left the sound close in the center of the freq range but rather thin in the bass and bright and somewhat sterile in the high end. A very close friend of mine purchased a Super B right after it was introduced. Because of the shortcomings and to reproduce the Lenny Dee sound, we have done much modification to it. The modifications we have done include; echo, key click (we could not find any key click in the sampling), additional channels of amplification for backgrounds and personal taste (it has it's own Leslie which matches the styling of the console) and much tailoring of the voicing to develop the original B3 with a 122 Leslie tube warmth. We were able to get the sound so close to the B3/122 that only the most critical ear might know that it was not a B3/122. If I can ever get approved to sign onto the Hammond_Zone site, I could upload some pictures. We also have produced about 360 minutes of recordings and I might get authorization to upload some samples onto the site. I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing this new B3.
