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. OHF Bob |

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.

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! carlo |

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. Doug Yahoo!

stops and couplers versus drawbars
Carlo Pietroniro
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'. When you draw stops on a traditional organ, you're not necessarily making the ensemble louder.
I posted the list of stops and their drawbar equivalents for two reasons. First, it's nice to see how all the different stops can be produced using the drawbars, and also to help people out when it comes to adding a certain stop to the ensemble. While stops cannot be drawn on the Hammond organ one after the other to produce a 'combination' of registers, the effect of a combination can be achieved, but in a different manner. 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............. carlo |

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 >I'll post some drawbar settings for church organists soon........ > >carlo > > > > _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: Visit The Hammond Zone To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: hammond_zone-unsubscribe@...
