@amtrc I have an Elegante ( 81') and as much as I love it I think the Hammond tone wheel organ as well as the Wurlitzer electrostatic reed organ sound superior for their tone. These were followed by vacuum tube tone generator designs. I was made aware of a new yahoo group called historyofelectronicorgans and I look forward to seeing this website grow. The organist of every style needs a great resource, a big master book even, to detail every design and all of the models. The organ lives!

this would be good on a 1980's hammond elegante i would love to here you play this same tune

i think the older hammond elegante and would be enterresting

It's a shame you don't see more Bach being played with this organ.

@RGAF1987 check billy preston - summertime, in the middle he does some kind of bach improvisation

I am an organ builder whose ideal is Schnitger. However I love this playing. Clean, clear, wild, and above all artistic. Hard to tell it is a Hammond.

That piece is a night mare and no hiding on the B3 w/ tone cab.....

Nice job bro, doubt Bach would approve of your use of the swell pedal but he is ok'n your technique and memory indeed.

You should purchase the Hammond Drawbar Guide book as it list drawbar setting for classical organ voices. I would suggest no Vibrato and more reverb with the Leslie slow. I played such classical tunes on my Hammond X-77 as it really sounded like a classical pipe organ.

i play bach on a hammond a-100 and i only got one complaint from someone who plays a pipe organ, and i said "well, this is what i have to work with," :-)

Oh, I forgot to add...

Your playing is quite nice!!!

[fstanley35]

It sounds as though you have percussion on the upper manual. I wouldn't (not for a classical piece). Also, you should possibly add some reverb. These changes, I believe may allow for a more realistic pipe organ sound.

What say ye, good man?

@fstanley35

if he would like to hear a real church organ sound he had taken a new keyboard.
