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.
I discover your channel and I subscribe. Your video is excellent. Good organ playing in a style that I like for a long time. This organ not known for me has excellent sounds. The sound of piano on lower keyboard is a good choice with the classic organ sound on upper keyboard. And also the rythms and the guitar sound. Very nice to listen. 🎹 🎶 🇨🇵
Certainly looks like you are enjoying yourself Paule! very nice indeed! I may have a wee jam along to this later
I would love to hear you on a real hammond organ!
