Thank you for your kind comments.

Thank you for listening. With regard to the Hammond, I have had a listen on your channel and love your style. The A100 looks to be in very nice condition and sounds lovely with the Leslie 122. At first glance I thought it was a Leslie 147. I remember the Hammonds from the early sixties when they were new. They were beautifully engineered. They are the classic Jazz Organ sound from that time. They were very expensive new and I certainly could not afford one. The spinet version of the A100 was the M3 with 12 Bass pedals the later M100 had 13 pedals. They both had pedal legato (sustain). The later L series which included a portable did not have the pedal sustain. Following on from that the T and R series had a short Tonewheel with electronic dividers for bass. They did not sound the same. Like many failed musicians I ended up working in a Music shop. Recently I have thought of buying one of the clones, probably a Viscount Legend (Key B) Most clones are demonstrated with lots of overdrive and key click. They do not have to be like that.The new Hammonds were not like that. They were a clean sound with a little bit of second harnmonic distortion which made a very warm sound. The keyboard action on them was and still is superb. I played in bands when I was young from the age of 14 and had a variety of portable Organs over the years, mainly Italian from Farfisa, Vox, and Elka, also a Yamaha YC45D. I know the Orla very well and it is quite versatile, it is an old design, I have suffered some hearing loss at the higher frequencies and so I do not really hear the 2 and 1 foot drawbars higher up the keyboard. Because I know the Orla very well I know what it should sound like even if I do not actually hear what it is sounding like. I hope that that makes sense to you. The Orla is very good at old Lowrey Organ sounds, you can hear this on the Exodus track after about 1 minute 30 seconds. Keep enjoying your playing I have enjoyed listening.

@@PauleWise Thank you! I'd go for that viscount legend, it's an amazing organ (the clean sound is very, very good from what I've heard), also it has all the right things in all the right places! A hammond's ergonomics are hard to beat and a joy to play. I like my sound with a tiny edge. My A100 probably doesn't sound new, but it was the best sounding real organ that I could get my hands on. Between I first heard a hammond played live and me getting one were almost 15 years. I couldn't get one because of my living situation. I did get one as soon as that changed and since the thing came with pedals, I learned them too.

Thank you. i am pleased that you have enjoyed this. It is a less well known piece.

Thank you.

Thank you for your kind comments.

The piano sample on this Organ is about 16 years old the Sax is the same. The Organ was manufactured in Italy by Orla. The original design for this instrument was carried out in 2000-2001. The first product was the Orla GT3000 which was launched in the spring of 2001. Various upgrades were carried out the final version being the Orla Modena in 2012. There are 5 channels of amplification. A larger version in a more traditional case was available as an option. This had 7 channels of amplification and a roll top lid. Although it is old it still seems to have retained a good price for sale on the internet if it is in good condition.

Thank you for all these precisions. I don't knew Orla. I have owned a Farfisa 8050 of 1970. Now I have a Yamaha D65 and a D85 which are analogics with good amplification and a acoustic leslie. For other sounds I use virtual instruments on computer. You can watch my channel for listening of different sounds. Have a good day. 🎹

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I have not really studied music, although when I was still at school I purchased my first organ which was a reed organ. I knew a piano teacher and she gave me a few lessons, in return I did her gardening. Unfortunately I am not one of those people that can just hear something and play it (my grandson Aaron can). I know quite a lot of pieces. I like playing around with harmony and timing. When I was younger I played in a soul band and some dance bands. I have always felt very privileged to have been able to perform alongside some very fine musicians indeed. There are some more songs on the way soon.

@@PauleWise I took music lessons for about 3 years from a couple of local teachers, however I ended up just doing my own thing. Got my first home organ as a teenager back in the 70's when they were popular. Now they are no longer produced here in the USA and only a few foreign countries still manufacture them. I miss them so much. Look forward to hearing more wonderful music from you.

Thank you once again for these kind comments. I have gone onto you channel. It is great, I love the variety. I am also amazed to see both a Yamaha D65 and D85. These are 1980 vintage. They still sound delightful.

Thank you for you kind comments. There are more to follow. Next up I will be accompanying my Grandson who will be singing.

Thank you for your kind comment. Paule.

@@PauleWise you are most welcome !!!

Thank you for your comment. I will keep working at the singing and hopefully it will improve. I do not understand fake for the singing as this was a straight take live. Please check from time to time there will be more on the way soon.

Dear Mary. Thank you.
