What kind of organ is this? A Hammond?

[ElegantePlayer]

@Thedaanvo Yes, this is a HAMMOND Elegante with external Leslie.

Do you happen to recall the drawbar settings from 0:09 to 0:36 and 0:37 to 1:03 - or were these set-up with voice tabs and not drawbars??  Thank you.

[ElegantePlayer]

Sorry, but I don't recall what drawbar settings I used. I trully arrange most of the songs as I play them. If I use the same drawbar settings each time I play, it's most likely by accident. I do work / change the drawbars a lot. I don't like to hear the same 'tone' all the way through a song. My Elegante is 100% factory orginal - I haven't made any modifications to the console. I do use some of the other voice tabs on some songs, but most tones are from the drawbars.

Great work! I love the fills and breaks. Technical point---The Elegante's tab layout looks similar to the Concorde on which I took lessons from Bob Creed in the 70's. Can you point out the differences? In the meantime, I'll just settle back with my aging H300 and wish I was 1/20th as good as you!

Hello from central Illinois: Thanks for your comments. I'm sorry, but it's been a while since I've sat at a Concorde keyboard, so I can't give you a correct answer to your question. I believe the Elegante has all of the Concordes features, with a lot added to make it the "Elegante". I've played on just about every Hammond organ they made - the "H" is a fine organ. I have a M3 with a 21H Lelsie - still going strong after all these years. Thanks again for the comments.

smooth tune!

@deancook652 Actually, the Concorde was the first completely Solid-State Hammond organ made. It was the first application of LSI (Large-Scale Integrated Circuit) technology for the whole organ. The X-66 was a partial application, with the basic sine waves still generated by a 12-wheel tonewheel generator located in the base.

All the best!

I like the Elegante, but I wished that they would had some how keep the arpeggiator like on the previous model, the Hammond 2307 Concord

Interesting to hear someone enjoying life playing the same kind of organ I just purchased. Considering it's quite old ,its ingreat shape and sounds fine!!!

I have EVERY Lenny Dee LP and all the video's of Lenny playing his white Model A and B-3000 and the Lenny Dee video with Dennis Awe ! Met Lenny 3 times and seen all his shows LIVE ! I also customized my B3 as close to Lenny's model A as possible even delay echo and reiteration on top manual !

Hi ElegantePlayer......I'm in central Il too....and have an old M3 I'm about to have repaired. I took organ lessons for years as a kid, then forgot all about it all, but I play by ear.....just that my left hand is lazy.......organ seems easier to really practice on and enjoy than piano! Lovely music...and write back fellow Illinoisian!!!

Bob, it's Theresa from Jeffersonville (American Red Cross volunteer). Just wanted to let you know that I checked out some of your posts. This one is my favorite. You are obviously very talented. I would love to stay in touch with you, but I'm not sure how to. I hope that you all had a safe trip home today.
