  • Remember the time frame. A Hammond B-3 cost more than a new Cadillac at the time. This was a clever product placement by the Hammond Organ Company to show an entry level instrument. Mr Welk was very shrewd about this sort of stuff, notice the prominent placement of the Chrysler "Foward Look" logo on his bandstands, instead of the usual LW.

  • @oldies5161: Thoses Hammond organs were OK for those days, but back then Lawrence Hammond did not want a Leslie tone cabinets on his products, which may had these instruments sound better. I am sure with your Hammond CV, you must have a Leslie? Far as my nose being up in the air, both Lowrey and Roland Atelier are much better sounding than any old Hammond or even Hammond Suzuki organ today. Hammond tone wheel organs with out a Leslie sounds terrible!

  • @patsaxon I''ll take my Hammond CV any day and it doesnt sound like a nightmare, only to people like you with their noses in the air.

  • Wonderful!

  • haha!

  • Sounds like a nightmare! I had never like the Hammond tone wheel organ or any older organ like that Hammond Chord organ. Any organ with vacuum tubes sounded awful!

  • I have the same chord organ, A Hammond S6. I know that the toll of time that's been taken on the capacitors and tubes have mellowed the sound in some respects, but the strings settings for instance sounds like a sustaining electric guitar and is actually a bit more piercing. The woodwinds on the Chord organ have a snappy woodwind mid range and mimic clarinets and bassoons very convincingly. I notice that the organ in the video has a much more tremulous sound at one point, but tabs are vibrato.

  • Correction: Not to take anything away from Mr Shutz, but watch Jerry. He is having FUN with these numbers.

  • Not to take anything away from Me Shutz, but watch Jerry.  He is having FUN with these numbers.

  • His correct name is Hal Shutz not Schutz. I use to watch him play organ in his basement recording studio. He's my uncle. thanks for posting, I have never seen this video. very cool....
