[compukenny]

I Just got a b3 for my wife! Was it a good trade?

[MrCtobe]

@compukenny Definitely

[chieftp]

need to oil the motor on the drum or tighten the belt. also weird to see a brotha not playing in the black keys (B flat, E flat. etc.)

[boo66]

@chieftp Belt? there's no belt in a Hammond!

[chieftp]

@boo66 they is in da Lesbie speaka. it make da drum go in da spin cycle.

[boo66]

@chieftp

Cheers. I'd forgotten about the Leslie having them!

[chieftp]

@boo66 deys either loose or da moda need oil up in der. be goin in spin cycle faster you get dat lubed up. awgin be screamin!

[chieftp]

@boo66 actually deyz iz belts in a bunch of Hammonds - the T series and other model have belts dat go from da mota to da vibrator scanner.

[boo66]

@chieftp PS - Regarding keys - It's easiest to explain and demonstrate musical theory in C (because it's easy to spot the accidentals) then transpose to whatever key you want to play it in.

[Soundofjoy]

@chieftp thats because I learned to play in all the keys C in one of my favorites along with Gb

I watched this video and didnt once see Richard Hammonds Crash?

[hemnjc]

...I'm sure you meant drawbars/stops, instead of calling them keys...should explain the differences in the "Swell manual," which is the upper, the, "GREAT manual," is lower ...
