Finally, after all the filming and editing I am pleased to announce the first release of my mini docu-series. This one in particular is following the journey and task assigned to my company "Retro Hammond Organs" re-building "The Beatles" iconic RT3 Hammond Organ and 122 Leslie speaker used on many of their recordings at Abbey Rd Studios.

Good job on the repairs...the rig really sounds good and smooth, got good breath and punch. And hats off to your fine playing sir! These are definitely rewarding beasts to work on. It's an important musical legacy to preserve.

Man!!! When you get a call to work on such iconic instrument, it’s worth pulling out all the stops ( even though the wife wasn’t happy with the budget lol )

Looking forward to more content from you. Love the vintage hammonds and its great people like you are around to still repair and maintain them. 🙂 Nice to play that iconic organ thats featured on loads of recordings over the years. I was stupid enough about 15 years ago to let one slip through my hands at an auction for the measly sum of £400 in light oak and with a Hammond Cabinet. Still haunts me to this day.

…. Oh dear!!! I feel your pain with regards to the missed opportunity to purchase a cheap one 😱

Wow wow wow. Very impressive! Strangely this took me bk to my childhood when I used to watch kids TV and they would take you on a trip somewhere educational like inside a factory and you could see the ins and outs of how certain things were made, and I was so engrossed in the whole process, so thanks for taking me back and making me feel child like again. You are clearly a very very anointed and gifted man of God, may His gifts continue to bless others and yourself forever more 🙏Amen

Just found your video as a younger organist, what an awesome experience to repair such an important instrument! Thank you for what you do preserving these instruments and excellent playing as well!

What a privilege to work on such a historical instrument. I recently picked up a D-152 and 122 and absolutely love them... inspired of course by Abbey Road's RT3 / 122 combo. Great work on the Hey Jude rendition, too!

Awww thanks Darren for the comment regarding “Hey Jude”. Yes it was an honour to get the contract.

I'm also imagining whether this is the Leslie they piped Lennon's Tomorrow Never Knows vocal through... or a bottle of wine resonating and rattling away on at the end of Long Long Long on the White album...

@Iced_Cake 7 ай бұрын

I was hoping you would play blue jay way at the end since it is primarily played on the organ.

Sounds great, what all did you need to do to wake it up? I'm not hearing any usage of the pedal solo system, is it functional?

@bishopbrad2918 Жыл бұрын

… It was an extensive job in changing a lot of the components and carrying out repairs. If you listen to my rendition of “Hey Jude” towards the end ( with headphones) you’ll hear the bass pedals in full effect

@Aldenclarke-xe3sg 9 ай бұрын

..Thanks and I guess the bass pedals are probably low in the audio mix but neither the less sound great!!
