Right now I am play a little M connected to a Leslie. So if I could find the right deal I would like one now. If not I'm going to just hold off until we get in the new sanctuary, our present on is had a very small platform. But if the right deal comes along I would get one now.

BTW, I heard of a church just the other day that got rid of their Hammond simply because they want ALL contemporary music and no association with "pentecost". in fact, a friend was visiting this church and the ladies had just come back from a ladies retreat. they was excited and shouting, dancing etc, and the leadership decided that this would offend visitors so they squelshed it. I was really surprised! this is a UPC church. apparently they are now "SEEKER FRIENDLY"

O NO a hammond M is Not going to Cut it my friend!!!

even an A-100 would be MUCH Better than that and are not too pricey.
in fact, I love the A-100. they are EXACTLY like the B-3, same amount of Keys, same exact buttons & options but Way Less in Price. If you hook it up to a 122 or 147 Leslie you would never tell the difference.
you can buy one on Ebay or from the internet and find A good deal BUUUUT you will pay $$$$ for the crating! I bought an A-100 for home and ended up paying $600 for the crating. This time I waited till something came up in my area. My Organ repairman found this one just outside of Fresno and brought it to me for free.

also! Don't buy one from a Pentecostal church! lol
those organs have taken the most abuse of all (out side of the ones that have been played in Rock bands!). the ones that have sat in a person's home or funeral palor are the best. we had a funeral home call us one day to tell us they had a organ to give away if someone would just pick it up.
I didn't think it was going to be much of anything. but I went and took a look and low and behold it was a hammond B-C which is the B3 before it was called a B3 minus the percussion. I used it in our chapel till we found a hammond C-2 for $40 dollors! yes $40! I turned around and sold the B-C for the church for $1000.

At the last church I pastor I found a A100 and leslie for $1500 and it was great. That thing would rock the house. I would love to find another one like that.

When I find another one A100, B3 orC3 I am going to buy it for myself. I am the only organ player in the house.

Hey by the way , would you by any chance have a chord sheet to "I think I'll Testimony what the Lord has done for Me"

THAD - I rejoice with you in finding this GEM! We have a Kickin' A-100 with a powerful Leslie in the church and then I have two H-100's here at the house and three other Hammond's in storage. One of these days - I am gonna sell all but my A-100. My wife likes it better than any of the others but I want a B-3 or C-3 for the church.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
