Extremely thorough and informative!!! I'm new to the Hammond and this help me a great deal. Thank you

Wow, I just learned so much! I have been playing keys for nearly 40 years with occasional but mandatory playing of a Hammond. I even was the caretaker of a 1963 M3 for a time. There was so much in this 20 minute video about this instrument that I did not know that I'm surprised I got by this long without knowing, but more so that you were so succinct and effective at delivering the right information. Kudos to you, and many many thanks!

Wish I could bottle this guy up… he makes it so easy and sounds amazing. THANK YOU!

I love the hammond organ especially in praise and worship and backing up the preacher when they preach

Crystal clear introduction - so very helpful! Thank you!

Ive never thought of playing organ or even know how it works but I watched the full video because its so interesting and informative. Great video!

Thanks man! Amazing quality and contents!

Your organ and camera angle look so nice that I thought it was some VST software until I saw your hands!!

Thank you so much great video I have a Korg oasis 88 and this will help me with the understanding of the C3 engine and drawbars and all the functions that Korg has put into there workstation keep up the good work thanks

yeah I'm playing the real thing today and needed this tutorial to understand this amazing instrument. thanks so much for the upload! I will save this video as a reference.

This was extremely useful to me!!! As you said... Most of people doesn't have access to a real Hammond console and I'm one of them. To have a minimum experience, I converted an old dead electronic organ into a MIDI controller with all controllers corresponding to the original Hammond controllers as you explained. I'm using B4 II, from Native Instruments. The experience is incredible and you made it even better because now I can understand, in deep way, how things works on a Hammond. I'm immensely grateful!

Thanks for a very wonderful lession. I have always loved the Hammond Sound. Again, Thanks for a great lession !!!

Excelente demostración. Been Waiting for an explanation Like Yours for years 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍

THANK YOUUU!!! Your The Best! I’ve been a drummer for 25 years of my life and I’ve always wanted to play the Organ at my church! 💙💙💙‼️🙏🏿 THIS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH! I pray and hope Over the new years of my new journey with the hammomd organ I have fun and get good and better! THANK YOU LEGEND! I’m subscribing!

This was such a necessary video! Thank you for doing some theoretical things instead of showing a setting and chopping through an example or two.... I’ll probably watch this a bunch of times.

You are a very good instructor thank l love this

Answered a lot of questions for me about the mysterious Hammond! Thanks!

Very nice. The sound of hammond makes me melt pure huney

Your organ workbook is amazing , thank you very much sir !

So many thanks Tony for this video, Iam from Argentina and I luckely could play a Hammond Organ in the Music University in Rosario City, and I have and Nord C1, so I am awared about the difference. I really enjoy your videos and specially your Music!!! Thank You a lot man, You are great!!!!

it is more convenient to set your bass sound to the B preset. If you play a walking bass and you accidently slip off the lower C onto the black B, your sound is not changed. In addition if you set the Bb preset for accompaniment, you'll never get ini the neighbourhood of the black keys, so no danger of a change in sound there either. Just something handy to keep in mind.

Excellent video.

Thanks a lot. Hi from Costa Rica

About the presets, my first B3 (1963) had the standard church presets and I never used them. My present B3 (1957) has the so-called Theatre presets (just like my B3000) and I use most of them. I believe the X66 also comes with the Theatre presets.

Ha ha ha ha I bought mine back in '72 and went on the road!... you learn real fast!!!

It is amazing that Gregg Allman didn't do any of this sober until the 2000's.

I had no idea hammond organs were this complex. such an amazing instrument

Great video! It should be titled "B3 Demystified." Literally had no idea how the B3 worked before watching this.

Love it! Brings back memories of when I was a kid, my dad's friend had a beautiful Hammond with TWO Leslie speakers in a big living room, and I got to mess with it. It was a lot better sounding than my much less expensive Wurlitzer at home! Now I can mess around with it a little, my Casio CTK-7200 has one set of drawbars and the percussion controls. It sounds, uh, okay, lol.

Maybe a bit off topic but organs and church organs in perticular where so integral in older Dutch culture we even have a saying when somebody goes crazy that goes like this "alle stoppen zijn doorgeslagen" which roughly translates to all stops pulled. Which some people think refers to switches in a home's main fuse box, but it actually refers to the Organ stops on a church organ which predates modern electrified homes. Kind of neat really. Everybody's grandpa had one of these transistor or tube organs where I lived. Mostly of Italian make. Never a Hammond, they were really expensive at that time.

We have the same expression in English: "He pulled out all the stops." Here it seems like everyone knows it refers to organ but maybe I'm wrong about that.

Synchronous to AC’s 60cycles, so it always stays in tune….. unless you take it to Europe like I did, where they run on 50hertz. 😬 Nice left hand by the way, in the demo. C1 is my fav of the V/C selections 😎👍🎹

Hammond XK-3c I encountered that the whole lower manual and whole pedal board does not have a sound 'cause pressed something on the upper manual preset keys. Now I don't know how to bring back the sound what should I do? Thankyou so much for your help🥺

Unfortunately I don't have access to a real B3 so for my budget and lack of space, a Roland VR-09B is my current tool for the job. I also have an M-audio Keystation 88 acting as my "lower manual," but I plan on replacing that soon. I'm hoping, if I get a MIDI keyboard with sliders, that I can program the sliders to act as lower manual drawbars. (I've been looking at the Roland A-800 Pro. It's got 61 keys and 9 sliders, and I feel like sticking with same-brand may better maintain consistency in how keys feel between keyboards.) Also unfortunately, the entire PK series (foot pedal attachments for my keyboard) are discontinued, so I'm just using an expression pedal.

Mr. Van Driessen gives an organ tutorial! ❤

Man, I could’ve used this info 40 years ago when I had a B3. Since then, I’ve used a Korg CX-3 but the same principles apply. Nice end chord @6:10. What is that?

This was great!! After many years of dreaming, and even own an M3 and a Leslie for a bit, the reality of the maintenance and the weight lead me to a clone. Design originally by JoeyDeFrancesco the Numa 2 has all of this and an 11 pin out!! But is light and easy to hook up, I run mine into a Mackie 808stereo and two Yamaha 15s. Sounds killer. But everything matches the B3 in function so this video like you said was perfect for learning the settings and function. At least now when I hit the studio I can kick it with my buddy's A100!!! Maybe sometime you could talk about the difference between the A B &C's, I have heard it's just the case that's different?

@steveneaklor2990

There are quite a few differences among the different iterations of the original Hammond design. The B-3 and C-3 are identical except for the cabinet style. On the RT-3, the basic organ is identical, with two exeptions: 1. The pedal clavier is 32 notes instead of 25, and 2. There is an additional Pedal Solo Unit which is essentially a Solovox playable from the pedals. Unlike the Pedal Drawbars, the Pedal Solo Unit is monophonic high-note select.

Every keyboard player must watch this video. Many think hammond as just one preset of synth presets.

What is the diffrence between a B3 and a C3 hammond organ models.

❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

Tony Monaco B3 settings and sounds 😊

Nice video. In the UK the C3 was the European version of the American B3; I'm not sure what the differences were but no doubt somebody has catalogued them somewhere. Some of the Hammond models I played in clubs back in the 70s had been retrofitted with sustain bass, which meant that the bass pedals produced a string bass or bass guitar sound that had a natural decay rather than an organ tone, the decay of the first note would cut off as soon as the next note was pressed so you didn't get two notes overlapping. This might upset Hammond purists but it made such a difference when accompanying cabaret acts if you didn't have a bass player; the later portable Hammonds such as the X5 and the B200 had this fitted as standard

@robertkennedymusic

No, the C-3 was sold in all Hammond markets. It's not the "European version," it's the "Church version." Both the B-3 and C-3 (and A-100 series) models were available in many markets. There are no functional differences between the B-3 and the C-3. Only the cabinets are different.

I thought I was looking at a VSTi until I saw your hand, haha.

So, percussion mode is monophonic, or polyphonic but needs to be played in staccato? Because it seems confusing to me...

Thanks for such a complete and superbly explained tutorial. I have one question. How Vibrato, Chorus and Leslie on/off come together.? When “leslieing” on/off or fast/slow what are chorus and vibrato needed for? Always wanted to know.

@robertkennedymusic

There's no easy way to answer this. Both involve modulating the sound of the note in a kind of "wavery" way, but they're very different in how they sound. So there's no really simple description and no "formula" for how to use them. You have to play the instrument and over time your taste about these effects will develop in a way that's yours alone.

@@robertkennedymusic I started over with the Yamaha Electones back in the 80s and 90s. I recall never/rarely using Vibrato. Just Chorus, and what Yamaha called "Tremolo", a sort of leslie-like effect produced by a mecanical spinning wheel inside the organ body. You are right. It's a matter of taste and feelings.👍👍

They really don’t: the vibrato (originally tremolo) was Hammond’s own answer to the Leslie, which at the time was produced by a different company and competed with Hammond’s own solid state amplifier, the idea was that once you had one of the newer hammonds with vibrato you wouldn’t miss the Leslie. In truth this idea was never successful, but the chorus vibrato still has its own sound that is nice to use in certain situations (in addition to a Leslie!)

Press something else! You hit the black key furthest to the left, which shuts of that manual, basically. Hopefully you haven't been using a 1 manual organ for 11 months!

Nor quite right with the start operation. You hold the start lever on, let the motor run up to speed, then WHILE HOLDING the start lever on you push the run lever up, they both should run for a second or two, then let go of the start button.
