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 !

So how does it sound?!

Great!! and has a good touch to it - that is important.
we totally wore the contacts down on the other one.
almost every key sqeaked when we played it.
every Hammond has a personality and it's own temperament(kind a like some church folk lol). we are VERY happy about this one. It's like we have stumbled upon a Blessing

it's 2:30AM in Detroit what in the world are you doing up ?

Isn't a C3 the same as a B3 mechanically but is more like a desk in that it doesn't have the back?

B-3 sits on 4 legs, C-3 has an enclosed cabinet.

The B-3 is the one that has to have a decorative "skirt" to protect the audience.

COOP
I like this New C3 and the reason is it is vingtage series
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 ?
