This morning we were teased with spring-like weather. Within the past hour

Right now I am listening to the top 100 of 1968. Waiting for the Vanilla

Quite an interesting story behind the Leslie speaker/Hammond organ
connection.

When Don Leslie developed his revolutionary speaker, the owner of Hammond
organ wanted nothing to do with it. To him, it destroyed the "sound" the
organ.

Turns out, the unique tone generator used in Hammond organs (controlled by
the drawbars) was a perfect match for the rotating horn of the Leslie.

Right now, I am in the market for a Hammond XK3 with the smaller Leslie. I
don't have room for a full B3, but the XK3 is a very accurate duplication of
the B3 sound. It even has tube pre-amps in it.

Even more interesting was that he eventually admitted that the Leslie
was the better speaker - after all the fussing and feuding,
threatening store owners with pulling Hammonds if they sold Leslie
speakers, etc.

They even started repairing them if I remember correctly.

the B3.

That was part of Hammond's objection to the sound. They've done a good job

if you search for them.

My problem is that I don't want to buy "online". I am trying to find a

I want to customize the package.

Of course, if Harry knows of a new B3 and full Leslie, I might change my
mind. This is crazy, but currently we have two grand pianos in our house,
one acoustical, the other electronic.

If I found a real B3 with Leslie that were in excellent condition, I'd
seriously think about replacing one of them.

Great home organ, but not close to the sound of a B3. Well, maybe "close",
but not the same.

The one I am looking for ... the XK3 ... is the second generation (the first
being the XK1) of modern, digital (and tube) electronics designed to
faithfully reproduce the original B3 sound. It's not just the Leslie ...
it's also the tone generators, harmonics, etc.

Thanks anyway,

We had a series of Hammonds in our house when I was growing up. My

Ethel Smith was one of the greatest Hammond players who ever lived. She
played the B3 like no one else I have ever heard. My father was an
advanced amateur theater and pop tune organist, and took us to several
Smith concerts and shows. She was just amazing.

We had a series of Hammonds in our house when I was growing up. My father
was a player. One of those was a B3. We also had a Wurlitzer and a
Gulbransen. None compared to the Hammonds.

My father was an accomplished pianist and trombone player. When I bought my
first electronic spinet organ ... a Wurlitzer ... he had a hard time
adjusting to the key action.

I had the Wurlitzer for a few years then got a bigger Yamaha. By that time
some of the keyboards were getting pretty good and I started using them,
mostly Yamahas.

My current keyboards include a stacked setup ... a large Casio on the bottom
and a decent, high end Yamaha on the top. The Yamaha does a good job
emulating the sound of a Hammond with Leslie, but it's not the real McCoy.

One of our pianos is a baby grand similar to this:

http://www.kawaius.com/main_links/di..._cp/cp187.html

It's a great instrument that you never really get bored with. It also does
a good job with the sampling of a B3, other drawbar type Hammonds and a
wide range of other voices.

It also sounds like a real, acoustic piano.
