Re: [hammond_zone] Church Sound?

 

And I agreed. I think the burr in my butt was, "not the way a church organ
should sound" comment. Very one dimensional no matter where you have been. By
the way, I LOVE pipe organ music. One of the best concerts I went to
(classical, rock, or otherwise) was Virgil Fox using the "Traveling Rodgers
Organ." Had some hype about "a speaker for every pipe." Don't know about that
but it sure rattled the place.

There is an interesting article here about combining drawbar registrations,
I have not tried this method but maybe someone can make use of it?


Cheers,

Re: [hammond_zone] Church Sound?

 

Carlo,
It's obvious you have never been to a Baptist "Church." I take "Make a
joyous noise" to mean just that and the Hammonds do just that. Now on the
other hand, if I want to hear a good rousing dirge I would probably choose an
Allen, Conn, or such. Yeah, I know the fugues are snappy but I'll take a
screaming B-3 and a wailing loft full of stomping and clapping gospel singers
anytime. Heaven seems to be getting farther and farther away as it is. OHF

Spring for C 40

 

Ken,

Is the spring about 1" tall and 3/4 " wide with 4 coils? I found this is a
parts bin and believe it is wwhat we are looking for.

Let me know and I will get it on its way to you... In light of the
difficulty of your being able to locate this spring, the price will be
adjusted to something under $100.00.




Well............ way under! Let me know and it will be on its way.

Take care,

Bill...


Re: [hammond_zone] stops and couplers versus drawbars

Carlo Pietroniro
 

well, my suggestions are from years of experience (the ear is the ultimate judge), and a book called "Hammond Organ, Owner's Playing Guide", copyright 1961 by the Hammond Organ Company.

I don't play Hammonds very often, but when I do, I use 1% guidelines, and 99% common sense, and it works out great!

In the USA, no. If you shop around and bide your time, you can get an A-100
for $900-1500 or so. I think Speakeasy Vintage Music had them fully
refurbished starting at $2000. I recently spent $1500 on decent A-105 that
needed about 10 hours work and $75 investment to get it "up to snuff". I
probably over-paid for it, but I wanted the A-105 style case and bought it
from a friend.

In 12/00 bought an E-112 for $75 from a pawn shop, kept it a year doing
minimal work on it, and recently sold it for on EBay $120 with the service
manual, so it was about a wash. The reason I bought it was for the full-size
manuals & pedals. I really liked my L-295 spinet more, and I always treated
the E-112 as "inferior to what I really wanted".

E-100's are missing the bottom twelve "complex" pedal tonewheels (the pedals
are done with a divider, sound lousy, and you can only play one at a time).
There's 3 fixed presets and one set of drawbars per manual, no reverse-color
presets. Keys are diving-board, not waterfall. On the bright side, they DO
have the scanner vibrato and tonewheel generator, and an onboard amp with
reverb. It's possible to hook a Leslie to one.

Regarding the percussion: they don't have the 2nd/3rd percussion (this is a
possible mod, I have documents from Michael Fulk about how to do it). Instead
they have "pre-voiced" percussion like an R-100, T-100, and H-100 (with
guitar, banjo, chime, xylophone, and marimba, brush & cymbal).

The output tubes (7591 if I remember right) are pricey if they need to be
replaced. On the whole, the E-100 and H-100 are considered "finicky", better
get a service manual for it (and no, these manuals don't turn up on EBay like
console and M-series manuals do, get one from Jerry Welch).

So unless an better alternative is REALLY unobtainable where you're at, pass
or haggle.

stops and couplers versus drawbars

I can't tell you how many organists I've bumped into over the years who ask me this very same question, "do we add the numbers when adding a stop?", to which the answer is...NO. In order to create the desired effect, one must first understand how pipe organs work, and once that is done, then naturally, adding the numbers will seem 'not the right thing to do'.

The largest number for each harmonic becomes the proper intensity in the final ensemble.

You may be wondering, "what do I do to create the effect of something like 'swell to great 16', or 'swell to great 4'?"

Super and sub couplers can be duplicated, but it's not easy.............

In a recent post that which is below is stated.

>Hammond 'sound' is great, it's not exactly what a church organ should sound
>like,..." >


WAIT A SECOND. Who said that is not what a church should sound like??? THe
Hammond organ is the only church organ to have. I take it you have never
been to a pentecostal church. I think you would know would I mean if you
saw it. The Leslie on 10, amd the B3 Blastin' like you would not believe.

some of my favorite settings with the right hand are

800000008

I usually start with this and then add this:

808000008

Just kinda brightens it up but it is still under the banner of mellow. This
is good with the leslie on fast.

THis sound has a good sound that is slighty nasal. very cool

688645457

TO get real bright I go with the

808808008, 848808008, and of course the 888888888 although this tends to
rock the house so hard that the chandeliers come down.

you can "nasal-up" your sound by pulling out the second drawbar further than
the first. the greate the ditance between them the more nasal the sound.

all of these I have the vibrato on C-3. THe only time I turn the vibrato
off is for padding. I do it sometimes to mix things up. need a change
every once and a while.

AS FOR THE LEFT HAND

I used to always go with 888800000 for a deep bass sound. I have now
discovered a more raunchy bass sound that has two uses.

First, of course when played at the lower octaves has an extremely "rockin"
bass

Secondly, When played at the very high octaves it will make your B3 SCREAM
like you would NOT BELIEVE. Also it is good for some glissandos. It can't
be used for really anything else because it sounds like a dying duck if you
try to lead with it.

Here it is baby:

088800000

Tell me what you think. THis has been a trick that us pentecostals have
used for a long time. Maybe it is only suitable for loud chuch but it
works.

I have other settings too but I think this is good enough


tell me what you think,



Brian


nice mellow tone to pl
