Not if the ladies playing it are wearing skirts long enough themselves.

Well, my repairman found an Old Lady that lived on a Farm that had one in her living room for Years but never played it. It's a hammond C3 Vintage 1960 Emaculate condition!! My Repairman sold it to me for $5000 that is a Steal!!! a vintage Hammond that's in pristine condition usually goes for 10,000 and up and a brand new one is 20,000 and up !!!
so this was a big Blessing! thanks be to God !

Congratulations Thad.


I wish I could find a deal like that.

So basically it's like finding an original 57 Chevy in someone's garage with super low like new miles on it. Is that what all the excitement is about, Thad?

the B3 we had was a tube Hammond BUT It was a 1973 Hammond B3.
that was the last Year they made Hammonds. not quite as good as the ones made between 1958-66
The B3 was a good Organ and served us well though. I'll miss it too

So, are you playing anywhere now ?

Ah, I see.....Tubes are cool...

Glad you like the new rig.

I will be playing Bass this Sunday at Amarillo Fellowship.

No....that would be finding a 65' B-3 in the original crate UN-used.

Yep.



We got an RT-3 (like a B-3 gutwise, but in the C-3 style cabinet, but bigger - has the full 32-note concave pedal board) and Leslie for like $5,100 a few years ago. Had it for a year and a half or something maybe, and it needed a little refurbishing done on it, but we opted for trading it in and getting a New B-3.

I see. Well, congrats on the new organ. Don't be so hard on it, like you were the other one, and maybe it will last until you retire.
