Our Beloved Hammond Nearing Extinction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hammond b3 tone wheel organs, (especially A/B/C series) are
getting more scarce. Many have already been taken to other countries,or chopped. Others have simply been destroyed from abuse, reducingthe number of original condition Hammonds available. Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before there are no more to be found in salvageable condition. The ebb and flow of my website is indicating that possibly this time has arrived. I’m not trying to be an alarmist but one thing is for sure, there won’t be more in time, only less because the vintage "tone wheel" Hammonds will never be made again. No one, not even Hammond, has come up with an organ equal to the original tone wheel masterpiece.
