I had an ancient Hammond T400 in the studio which sadly became less and less useable as bits stopped working. However I was very fond of it and before it went I thought I'd make a little video about Hammond as a bit of fun. That was before I started CSFTV but I thought it might interest someone...the opening music is played by Ethel Smith who was a wizard on the Hammond in the 'forties and 'fifties. The closing music is of course by Booker T. and the MG's - Green Onions!

In terms of the old school classification of instruments of Chordophones, Aerophones, Membranophones, Idiophones.. does the Hammond fall under Idiophones?

Ha! I don't think I know! Thank you for your fun comment though!

@@CornwallStressFreeTelevision its a question that has baffled me too.. i guess synths can be électrophones.. so maybe this too..?

They're in a class of their own. As Bessie Smith might have said.

ハモンドオルガンは、ヤマハやKAWAIとは異なる。無限に近い音を出せる。でも、ある程度の金を出さないとね！150万以下では厳しいかも！自分がローンで買ったのは500万したけど買った当時は高級車買えたかな？今から60年程昔だった！楽器は値段が半端ないね！億何か普通にするから怖いよ。レバー１つの組み合わせやボタン操作他の組み合わせで如何様にも音が変化するのに、使いこなすまでは苦労しました。もう後期高齢になって指や足が動かなくなりました！当時は御陰で演奏で喜ばれました。映画音楽やムード音楽等で何組かのカップル👫が出来たのは良い思い出です。上前津にハモンドのショップが有りましたが、今はもう見なくなりました！

I had a used M3 Spinet and the pitch was off by 2 semi tones. How could this be ?

Tone generator motor not running the correct speed.

@lawabidingcitizen5153 4 ай бұрын

As someone else has said, that sounds like you're running a 60Hz organ off 50Hz or vice-versa, which would correspond to slightly more than 2 semitones

@@lawabidingcitizen5153 …in the early 50’s, here in Ontario Canada, the Power companies changed from 25 to 60 hz. All appliance motors were changed at no expense but I cant imagine that this Hammond organ was around back then, but maybe it was.

Hello Paul. Firstly - thank you for watching my for more than ten seconds! And yes, you are quite right of course - I am guilty of purveying false harmonics. You must be a musician or a keen Hammond enthusiast (or both) to have spotted this. As you will have guessed, I added them afterwards from a tone generator and wasn't careful enough with my frequencies. However - to be fair - it does get the idea across I hope!

All electro-mechanical and electronic, non-cathedral organs sound really "cheesy" to me. It comes from horrible memories of 1960s "home organs" when they first became popular and affordable, on which old fuddy duddies played cheesy versions of cheesy pop songs and cheesy 50s "hits". My grandfather had one ... he was also a church organist, which I loved to hear. As a child, I used to leave the room in disgust at the sound of his home organ. Electric organs are *NOT* a wind instrument. They synthesise, IMITATE the sound of an organ (and other things). I have always found "flute" mode on any organ to be a laughable abomination! I am a flautist (bansuri) btw.

Hammond did not have oscillators but it had tonewheels and were virtually indestructible and they never go out of tune
