Interesting Hammond history pryso, thanks! Love the Hammond B3. The account about the shootout in which 1/3 in the panel of “experts” couldn’t tell the difference between the Hammond and a pipe organ made me chuckle and reminded me of the infamous Henry Kloss demo where the “experts” couldn’t tell the difference between the Kloss speakers and a live string quartet (?)....yah! Back around 1980 or so, Yamaha introduced the soon to be ubiquitous DX7 synth. The first digital synth, it was compact and offered a tremendous number of sound options for the keyboard player; just about every pop and jazz-fusion band on the planet used one. It was considered to have a “better B3 sound than the B3”. Huh!? Never could understand that comment. If it is a “better” sound then it’s no longer the B3 sound, no? Shades of “Perfect Sound Forever”....sure! |
