[hammond_zone] Re: Spinet

Hi Darren,

I came to this site... The pictures show a M3 Spinet model. Only 13 pedals... so far,so good, but when you take a closer look at the plate, it says "CONSOLE"... Did the guys at the Hammond Company know the difference themselves? What were they thinking?

Spinet= 12-13 note pedalboard Console= 25-32 note pedalboard Hammond made both tonewheel and semiconducter versions of their spinets and consoles. for instance: the T, L and M series (eg T200) are all tonewheel spinets. the F, J, K, XT (eg 146K2 ) series are all semiconducter spinets. A, B, C series (e.g B3) are all tonewheel Consoles. Concorde, XH200 are solidstate consoles. With over 65 years of production features vary. But if you are looking for a Hammond, make sure you get one with drawbars (not F or J series). If its for the home and you need a compact spinet...try to get one with internal Leslie, if you have room for an external Leslie, the M100 is a rather nice little spinet. As for a Console, if you want a decent tonewheel model, you will probably need a Leslie too, I suggest a 122, or a 147. 145's are ok, but the smaller cabinet means you loose some depth.

I believe that the use of the word console might come from the general classical organ, where the organ could be devided into to general parts: The pipes and the playing board...the console. As the first Hammonds liked to be substitutes to the church organs they adapted the word console, as this was the word for the playing board. And in that respect the word console on the nameplate nearly is another name for "organ playing cabinet". It is a bit tricky, but then again Hammond had to come up with a description for the M-serie in shape that would differ from the traditional full manual and pedal console.

The XTP is basically a T-500 in "portable" design with detachable speakers.

XTP percussion not the same as B3. XTP has a set of percussion tabs labelled
CHIMES, CELESTA, GUITAR, MARIMBA, XYLOPHONE, & BANJO. There are some similarities in that selecting one of these tab adds an initial attack with quick decay to a sustain level about 60% of the initial level. The attack is flavored with the tone of the named tab, i.e. Chimes, etc. There is no adjustment for the degree of percussive attack, its either on or off, and there is no adjustment for the decay rate. If all the drawbars are pushed in, and one of these tabs selected, the sound reminds me a bit of a Fender Rhodes electric piano. All attack, short sustain with decay to silence. Hope this is adequate answer to your question. Regards, J.E. Skinner |

Thank you, I was aware that the XTP was a T series in a unique cabinet
configuration. It is not of B-3 origins, but my question was what type of percussion is available. Is it like a traditional B-3 percussion setup (2nd, 3rd, 5th harmonic) or is it the (marimba, xylophone, Glock) type.. I used to have an X-66 and am aware of substituting (marimba, xylophone, Glock) for (2nd, 3rd, 5th) sounds. |
