It is WONDERFUL to see some love ❤given to the H series and so glad you SAVED one from the trash which is where so many of these organs are headed these days. HISTORY: My folks bought me a brand new E-100 back in 1967 from our local Hammond dealer. It was there, that I studied all 12 books of the Mildred Alexander method, took 4 years! But oh, glissandos with those over hanging keys, OUCH ! (noisey as my E was!) But it was very cool to see all the BRAND NEW B3, C3 and RT models on the showroom floor. (of course, there wasn't a LESLIE in sight, only the Hammond Tone cabinets). My studies were on any of the spinets, M series, L series and a real treat was having a lesson on a brand new H-112 ! I loved the added brightness of the partials from the 10th and 11th drawbars. HOWEVER, my teacher would SHUN me from using them, and push back to off! (perhaps they hurt her ears?) LOL So many things make the H series special, and you have pointed them out nicely. I believe the 'celeste' effect is a second vibrato scanner that is BELT DRIVEN at a very slow speed? You can let me know. I sold my E-100 and Leslie 145 a little over a year ago to a Gospel church locally and they are enjoying it completely! OH, and I found that filter cap that dulled out the 'offensive' key click that we all love, it was under the expression pedal all the time! Only took me 50 years to find it!, wow, an E-100 with key click and brightness is amazing!! Not sure where that filer is on the H, we have one at our pipe organ shop currently, and I could not find it in that location. Thanks again for you video presentation.
I think the Hammond is probably one of those sounds that people are always trying to replicate and the real thing still outshines the modern immitation. For those about to jump on me here, I know there are some pretty good products out there these days. but, for a lot of people, the original is still the prefered option.
There is no substitute for a real vintage Hammond B3 & Leslie 122. I have had every Hammond made & Hammond XK5 Pro Series Complete organ system w/ Leslie 3300. I have used neo vent & Leslie pedal and not one of the digital Hammonds or Leslie’s sound as good as the vintage B3 C3 A100 A105 w/ Leslie 122. Vintage made history. Hammond keeps trying but they fail to recreate the vintage Hammond. I don’t think they will ever get there.
You did a great job indeed. I like your DIY-Leslie with the two horns and the lower compartment with the rotor and the Rotosonic. Fantastic sound. Thank you very much for posting.
That s so amazing result. I really love the sounds and all the variative effects. I couldn't close my opened mouth when i was watching your demonstration.., such a wonderful music instrument. I am an organ player and teacher also, I m using Yamaha Stagea electone. But your organ is really wonderful, like bringing me back to my childhood when first time i fell in love with organ. Fantastic sounds. Big love from Indonesia. 😘😘😘
The small church I grew up at has this same organ. Its purchase pas promoted by a Hammond fan in the congregation and he got a "really good deal" on it. Years ago, I sub'd for the organist. It was an adventure to play.
Beautifully done restoration, Leslie mods, and demo! Your H is amazing. The internal speakers are great but I wouldn't want to lug it around. I have an A100 with a 251. Mine was delivered to my house by the late great Kenny Kleist. I sold home organs in the early 70s for a few years... Wurlitzer and Kimball... but I bought a Hammond for the studio. :-)
Fantastic organ . I had a similar one and I fought to keep it alive with new components etc . In the end I lost the battle and bought a Technics digital ensemble PR902 . Its ok but not a patch on the Hammond . I so wish I had it back . The sound used to make my spine tingle . Nothing has ever come close . I had the matching Leslie speaker . Enjoy it ...
I'm going to take flack for saying this, but from my many and varied experience if it doesn't have a starting motor, I ain't playing it. One of my churches had an H-100 and I tried to have it deported to another country. I think it eventually ended up as firewood. Now mind you... that Leslie you built is SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!! WOWZERS!!!!
We had an A-100 with a Leslie in my family home back in the 1960's through the 80's which I thoroughly enjoyed playing. This is the first H-112 I've seen. It strongly resembles some of the later Hammond spinet series models. Very interesting that you are powering the Leslie with the amplifiers internal to the organ; the first time I've seen that done. Kudos also for the customized Leslie unit. Well done! Thanks for showing it.
I absolutely love the "Double-Leslie" you've made for this organ. Have you ever thought about making it a product? That would be pretty cool. I just wish I had a working H-100.
In all the years I have been in the music industry I have never seen a band or artist come in to a venue with one. I have seen my share of B & C 3's a few L-100's but never an H. That sounds awesome. Not bad co0nsidering that Hammond knew nothing about music and was originally a clock maker.
Hello DHLF, please excuse my bad english, i use google translater. Thank you for introducing the Hammond and the Leslie. That all sounds great. There are very good Hammond clones these days, but nothing like an original Hammond. Can't you even play complete songs so that you get a real listening impression. I also subscribed to your channel directly, in the hope that there is still something to come. Best regards from Germany ... Martin (and his genos)
I'm jealous - I couldn't find anyone to repair/restore my C300(?)-series Hammond about 6 years ago, so it wound up going to the landfill. At least the Leslie went to someone who converted it for guitar use so that bit lived on.
Awesome.... Tom Sholz from Boston put a pitch shifter on his B3...it only went up about two semi-tones...and it over heated the motor if you used it too much ! ...sounded wicked though...
Every Hammond enthusiast should know about the original tonewheel organ - the Telharmonium, invented by Thaddeus Cahill in 1896. The difference is that the tonewheels were actually individual AC generators, because there was no amplifier. The second version weigher 200 tons, No recordings exist. The last one was scrapped in 1962. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telharmonium.
I had a h 182 that i used in clubs a very durable instrument,however I would use the stock Leslie switch your will never hold up when artists really are jamming,but other than that great job!!!
I recently acquired a h182 and have rwd online and contacted some technicians that say they're always breaking and are more hassle than they're worth. Good to see a comment stating that it was a durable instrument!
I see the repair to the right hand end and wonder if this is the H that I used to own, then gave to my friend Eddie who put it into storage in Isleworth, West London and then got rid of it when he moved to Malta. If it is then I might have the original bench somewhere! I had two of the upper manual percussion tabs modified to traditional spec second and third harmonic.
Very interesting! About what years was the Hammond H-112 made? Also I’m curious what intervals (relative to the standard nine) the extra drawbars cover- harmonically? Anything other than roots, fifths, and that one major third, 7th bar from the left? If it has additional intervals the B3, C3, & A100 never had, that will make it sound more like a pipe/theatre organ. Very nice double horn Leslie in the top. Kind of gives it that Chinook Helicopter look! Lol 😝 You’re very fortunate to own such a nice asset. Thank you for sharing.
The Hammond Organ H100, X66 and X77 have two extra drawbars: the tenth drawbar controls the combined 7th harmonics + 9th harmonics, the eleventh drawbar 10th harmonics + 12th harmonics. These harmonics correspond to the organ stops 1 1/7"+ 8/9" and 4/5" + 2/3".Yes, the sound is sharp and exotic. Because these tones are extracted from tempered tones, they are not pure harmonics, but they do not detract from the sound, they sound very interesting. H100 were produced between 1965 and 1969.
@@michalpetrilak3976 Thank you so much for taking the time to describe those details. I love understanding the harmonics and "music theory" aspects of the Hammond.
It's a Leslie in the sense that a vacuum is a Hoover. More really, in the sense that it is made of Leslie original parts, assembled in a different case
@@johnbrewer9833 With all of the lessons learned after the H100s series, I feel the X66 and X77 are easier to get into. In some ways an H100/H300 is like a model A. There's no lifting the manuals to easily replace a preset or playing key, let alone any other portions of the manuals assemblies. That being said, fiddling with the Eureka wiring, and single key contacts inside any multi-contact Hammond organ is almost forbidden territory. ;)
I was lucky enough to house Spike Edney’s H series Hammond for a while when Roger Taylor told him to move it out of his Studio. Unfortunately the scanner vibrato didn’t work, but it was still a lovely instrument. I bought an XK3-c system, so it had to be returned, as my wife has limits…

This is the type of organ that I use to play in Saint Louis. You have done a wonderful job to restore this instrument. Congratulations.
Had this very model since 1969. Started with a model M spinet.

Full credit to Hammond, may his creation be played forever; and thanks also to Leslie.
I played this one at church. Nice sound. Awesome video 👏🏽
Wow, you may have created the ultimate tonewheel Hammond/Leslie combo. Great sounding organ.

I’ve never seen this model before! And I’m 69!
I’ve made my own Leslies too, but I have to have a left and right Leslie for that real stereo effect.

H-112 as I would say :) Got one too. Needs a restoration of the keybeds but everything else is working fine.
Top Sound!!! Regards from Barcelona 😎💥💥💥👍
Beautiful
What a great job you have done on this amazing organ. I wish I had the knowledge to fix my 70s L120..
the sound is heavenly, indeed
Thats a hammond. it sounds six feet wide in small livingroom and also 120 feet wide in that same livingroom. you nailed it and then some.

Sounds killer
This would definitely be my go to if I didn’t want to spend money on a b3/ c3/ a102 or a digital
He plays so many little musical bits here. Pretty sure I heard a couple of bars of "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square." 😀
lesley, like a jorneytable👍
Awesome....
Tom Sholz from Boston put a pitch shifter on his B3...it only went up about two semi-tones...and it over heated the motor if you used it too much !

A maquina sonora perfeita a minha paixão por um e sem limite
Thanks for the demo, but I wonder, is your organ rebuilt? Why did'nt they make an repair of the rattle keys?
What is the difference with the H-110?
How much did this cost you? Counting the organ.
You are probably too young to remember the sale of the century.
Was this for sale or was it just for demonstration?
This is some amazing work! Where are you based?
How many tone wheels does it have?
👍👏👏
Hi DHLF I need help getting my Percussion working on my Hammond H-110. The only one that’s working is the Harp Sustain.
