Thank you so much for continuing to make content! You have been my biggest inspiration in exploring synthesizers and synthesizer music. I even have a talkbox because of you. You friggin rock dude!
@@aggelosk3013 Great question! After playing my M-100 for a few years, I really don't care about if it has waterfall keys or diving board keys. The keys on mine feel very smooth and light to the touch. I love it! My RUclips Channel is a guitar based channel but I plan on doing a series of keyboard stuff so I will let you know when I make some videos with it. Hope this helps!
Really nice job getting the spit, sweat and funk into this. Loved your performance. I still have my 1966 M101 in a custom made chopped cab. This organ is not a B3, or even an M3, but the M100 has its own thing. I had my tech friend add a pot to give me continuous control over percussion level and another pot that let's me adjust the output to get a bit more grind when I go into a preamp and Leslie. I hauled that organ around from 1974 to about 2002.
M100 was organ used to record original studio version of "Whiter Shade of Pale." Although a spinet, as you can clearly hear the M100 can be modded into a very competent rocker. Add a subwoofer and you can weaponize the M to peel paint and shatter glass. At 260 pounds, it's not light. But a circular saw and a little rearranging can help fix that.
It was also used on the Zombies "Time of the Season" and the first two Yes albums, and I'm sure lots more! I have modded this organ since making this video, rewiring the lower manual for bass foldback and adding a real three-way knife switch for the Leslie.
@@mootbooxle I would love to get my M101 to sound like this. I have wondered if connections could be added between the pre-amp and power amp so I could connect a Leslie pedal. I'm learning to play at 57 years and love that Leslie sound (or reasonably close to)!
@@keithpitts5560 This could definitely be done - since making this video I rewired the lower manual to go down one more octave like its console siblings. This is done by desoldering the wiring harness from the lower manual, moving each connection 12 terminals to the right, then using jumper wires from the lowest 12 notes back down to the lower 12 terminals. If you search “terminal jumper bass foldback” you will probably find detailed instructions! It took me a whole evening but now I can play bass on my Hammond. Also added a line out box with an attenuator which goes to my Leslie pedal. Technically you could do a “line in” mod to the preamp so that the Leslie pedal then is heard through the internal speakers. I feel like this would require some extra circuitry to match levels/impedance. Worth looking into I guess! I just put a DPDT switch that shuts off the internal speakers by switching it to a power resistor so the preamp still sees the proper load.
i own a 1947 Hammond M. none of those buttons or switches. just pullbars. Your wood is in much nicer condition than my tore up one. But mine works perfectly..just need some more hammond oil. Nice to actually see someone who can play make videos for a change rather than just heady modular plugging and mostly useless sequencing.
hi! i have a question. by listening best cds of jazz organ i often hear the bass notes (the pedalboard ones too) are very defined also from not professional hifi or headphones (not fullrange). how can I do this?
Diego Fecchio part of it has to do with what drawbars are used. For the bass, a funny thing happens when you add the 5 1/3' drawbar to the mix. normally, this sounds like a note one octave and a fifth above the main 16' note. but when you mix it with 16' and 8', it causes a psychoacoustic effect that adds richness and harmonics to the bass notes. A lot of organ players play bass with the left hand using some combination of those three tones, and "shadow" it with the pedals - adding attack and depth to the sound. That's how you're able to hear it even on speakers that don't reproduce low sounds very well. I'm sure somebody who is more educated than me can explain it better! :)
mootbooxle ok this may be the right way... in fact i use always only 808 on left hand with 16' on pedals for Jimmy smith style. I'll try with your solution! thanks a lot diego
help!! I just purchased one of these at a garage sale to learn how to play, but I have no idea how to turn it on. it doesn't seem to work and i have this exact model. how do you run it???
Seeking help from the Hammond experts out there: Back in the mid 1960s a neighbor had a Hammond organ (at least I THINK it was a Hammond). I know for sure it had numbered draw bars, and I'm pretty sure it had "paddles" like the one here for selecting different sounds. On the latter point, though, I may be confusing it with other organs I saw later; it may have had flip switches instead of paddles. Another thing I know for sure is that you had to reach UNDER the keyboard to activate the "Start" and "Run" toggles. Does anyone know what model it might have been?
@@silvertongues2 The L100 is essentially the same except it doesn’t have mechanical scanner vibrato and I think one or two other minor feature differences. The distortion is from my Leslie simulator which was a Strymon Lex at the time of this recording. I finally ditched that and got a Leslie Pedal - the big white one. What a difference!
@@silvertongues2 I did a couple of mods. I added a line out box with an attenuator on the back, and I installed a Fender Telecaster knife switch into the left cheek block for more authentic Leslie control. I did the bass foldback mod - the “terminal jumper” method. The worst part was the mess I made with my router, carving out enough wood to stretch the wiring loom over enough. I ended up adding jumper wires after all, so probably could have saved a lot of trouble.
one has a model/serial number plate that says L100, the other has a model/serial number plate that says M100. also, they're two completely different models with nothing in common except the keys and name.
I played the bass on a separate track for two reasons: 1, this began as just a loop for me to jam over, and 2, this was the week I got the organ, before I did the bass foldback mod so I could play full console style bass on the lower manual. The spinet pedal tones are too “home organy” - fluffy attack and release. Cool for certain stuff though, if you don’t need quick articulation.
Thank you! In this video, the organ is mostly stock. Not long after I recorded this, I did the bass foldback to it. I haven’t done the treble foldback because A, it’s a big pain in the arse B, I kinda like the stock spinet tone up high, so different from the console sound!
As I can see , the click bouton at the left , left no mark , no sound , no '' click click thy bouton '' . That's a Progress ! A good suppressor or if you want , a good silencer's bouton click click maniac .
i wish i had this playing aloud everywhere i went. so fresh
Cheers! Thanks so much!
+mootbooxle thank you! i cant wait to share this with my friend and loved ones. keep it coming!!
I love this - the best version of The Chicken I've heard so far!
So good. Jimmy Smith eat your heart out!
So good ! Thanks for giving us this groovy way to taste the delicious sound of the M100. More please !
Hahaha the beginning of this video always makes me smile! Digging the vibes so fresh
nice..very warm & funky
This is brilliant! Great playing. I watch this clip over and over!

Dude what a sweet jam
i played this song in a jazz band once, really fun song lol. great work!
Very underrated organ!!! love it!! Ive got an M103!!!
How do the keys feel? I’m getting an m111 and I just saw that it doesn’t have waterfall keys

One of the best music videos on RUclips, should have over a Million Views & over a Million Likes. 👍 1000 👍 seriously!
I like your timings and the use of the swell
Love it!
Excellent version. Very funky and vibey :)
So glad I stuck til the end. That last chorus was rippin! So glad u did this. Rly wanted to hear organ chicken. Urs is bootyful
thank you so much!!!
Love it! Heard this first when Jaco played it on Punk Jazz lp.
a very nice piece..so chill and funky!!..keep up your good work..professional pieces..
+steve angelo Thank you Steve!
Excellent! Bravo!
Thanks Massimo! I love your work as well!

Ohhhh DAAAAMMN I'm in love.
Really good! I am tapping my feet. Super stuff.
Funky and rich sounding jam!! Good work!
Great! Please post some more Hammond stuff :-)
+Anders Tukler Will do! :)
Frickin awesome dude
thank you!!
Excellent 👍
I have a Hammond XK2 with a keyboard Ketron SD9. Very nice played on the M100.
Just amazing ! thanks !
That is a wicked jam.
Sweet. Cheers from Denmark!
Had a real crappy day, but this has totally cheered me up😁
I am so happy it cheered you up! Thanks for your comment!
Very good playing and feel well done
Wow, sounds great man, I had no idea this M100 series sounded that good! I have a B3 chop, and a Leslie 122. Great playing too, I love it!
Dang this was awesome!!
Nice !
Brilliant stuff Matt!
This is fiiiiire!
Righteous!
This is the real deal! I'm a proud owner of an M-100! It sounds great through my leslie model 16
Really enjoy your vid's my friend. Keep them up. Would just love to spend a day hanging out...
da groove man, big up!
Very nice ! The M100 may be a bit smaller then the B3, but it's a real tone wheel organ, with the real sound !
That was slick!!!! Subed!!!
thank you!!
still playing?
@@enjoyyoursleep1 All the time!

it's also on Thank You by Led Zepplin, Gimme Some Lovin by Spencer Davis Group and Let it Be by the Beatles.
Also "Hey Girl" by Small Faces (Ian McLagan, organ). Matthew Fisher reportedly bought an M102 (with funds from his grandmother) after meeting McLagan.

my first Hammond was an M back around 1990.
I like this.
There was some really fat low and richness I did not expect very nice
nice one!
great !¨thumbs up

thank you! The Leslie in this video is actually a Strymon Lex pedal!
I envy your talent.

If it was a spinet organ, you most definitely saw an m3
The more I hear M100’s the more I want one
yeah! They have a really cool tone, and they’re on so many classic records that people usually assume are B3!

Would you to see you live on periscope or busker 👍👍👍
How to tell difference between L100 and M100? both have tabs and short keyboards
as I see from youtube, M100 have group of 3 and 4 tabs above drawbars, L100 have empty space, then two and four tabs
one has a model/serial number plate that says L100, the other has a model/serial number plate that says M100. also, they're two completely different models with nothing in common except the keys and name.
damn!
Shit son, you've got feeling. Perfecto! Is that your footwork on base too? Or a backup track?
Phew! right hand showing whats up...
Barfly opening sequence!
Can you pass me this back tracking?
What key is this in?
Was the bass played on the pedals or was it part of the track?
I played the bass on a separate track for two reasons: 1, this began as just a loop for me to jam over, and 2, this was the week I got the organ, before I did the bass foldback mod so I could play full console style bass on the lower manual. The spinet pedal tones are too “home organy” - fluffy attack and release. Cool for certain stuff though, if you don’t need quick articulation.
