  • WOW !

  • Yup... thats a good restoration, nice to see another basket case brought back to life... well done mate. I take it your in the states? I am in the UK, looking for rebuild project myself (B3, A100 or C3), but they are rarer than hens teeth over here! :( Working models up all togeather can work out @ £6,000 (about $10,000). Still looking and hoping :). Anyhow, well done.

  • Beautiful! This music touches the soul!

    What marvelous talent you have.

    I have played the Hammond C3's in several churches, and wish I had one at home. I have had a few Hammond spinets.

  • What did you use to clean those keys like that?

  • Very nice Job im happy when i see one of these brought back to life again nice

    playing too. I like the C3 better than the B3.

  • Sigh~~~.. Brings back memories!!! I had a '58 C-3 a few yrs ago.. It had a little bruise on the front left corner from a fall (previous owner), but the wood was like a cherry-wood finish & just BEAUTIFUL... Had that same Quatrefoil on the sides too. The manuals were PERFECT, though the keycombs/felts could have been replaced... That thing sounded so phat & warm... Only issue was a few "out-of-tune" notes due to the fall. Sold it, now have an A-100 but miss it! NOTHING like the OLDER C's/B's :-)

  • BEAUTIFUL!

  • @blackhammond ...... Great Job~!

  • Personally I think the C3 is the best Hammond organ ever. I prefer it to a B3.

    Seeing it like new is amazing, it's beautiful, it's perfect.

    Perfect restoration ;-)
