[hammond_zone] Anybody carrying the beast?

In article <3B0F928D.3C7BADFA@...>, Jimmy Lange <jlange@...> writes
Hey Hammond brothers & sisters,I (and 2 other people!) carried 2 C3s and a 145 and a142 down into my cellar 18 months ago and that is where they are staying! They sound different from each other. One was bought originally for spares and became a "project" and has been rebuilt and broken manual resistance wires repaired (see the files section on this list's web site on yahoogroups). I know it seems mad having 2 C3s but I can't bear departing with either!! The sound of a REAL Hammond through a Leslie is just incredible. I first got turned on to it in 72 aftwer hearing Keith Emerson and ELP. Since then I've become a Hammond addict and listen to many different musicians ranging from Keith to Barbara Dennerlein, JTQ (the business!!) Jimmy Smith Reuben Wilson etc etc. A clone will NEVER match the real thing. -- David Bentley |

I do assume you mean XB-2 - and of those manuals I have plenty. We did unpack the original English versions, and put in some national once, I made by the way. Of course I kept the originals, so no problem.

Thank you for this nice post. You are really in love with the hammond. As we are. Elisabeth plays it as I???m a guitarist, but I maintain it. We used to carry it to gigs, along with leslie and the Fender rhodes. As we do mostly studio work, we had no gigs for a few years. (No good places to play here, no money to pay a good drummer and bass player.) Now we think of putting a live band together again. But we are hesitant to take the C3 and leslie back on the stage as we don???t want to harm it. Hammonds are all around in the USA, but here in Germany they are quite rare. Keep on grrooovin???

only know to well that it is rare to find somebody who shares the enthusiasm for the old Hammonds. I have also had to find a seperate place to put my organs, and at home I only have one model A, not even with a leslie, but an original tonecabinet. Hope you manage to get around the situation.
