Hammond B3

Used on "I'm Slowly Turning Into You" and "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do What You're Told)", as stated by recording and mixing engineer Joe Chiccarelli in this October 1, 2007 *Mix Online* interview. > A pair of songs — “I'm Slowly Turning Into You” and “You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told)” — show off Jack White's B3 talents. Chiccarelli miked the B3's Leslie with a tube U47 on the bottom and a pair of KM84s on top. He also had a U67 in the room to capture some of the organ's ambience. “Sometimes we took a direct out of the organ and sent that through a guitar amp to get a little more edge and bite,” he adds.

In an interview with Music Radar, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Josh Klinghoffer is asked if the band can play their song Puncture live, to which he replies: "Yeah, yeah. We got bold and opened with it when we played a couple of years ago. It's a lot of fun. Clint fills up a lot of space on the guitar live, but there's a lot of Hammond B-3 in there and a few other keyboard things. Every time we do it, it's different. I can't wait to play live again, and hopefully do more than one show in a week."

Prince had a clear Hammond B3 organ. What model? I don't know but some one posted it was a Hammond XK-5 SKX Organ XK5 but I don't know if it's truly that model. What I do know is that it can be spotted in a couple of his concert films like Rave Un2 The Year 2000 and Prince Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas.

He also had Hammond B3 on legendary concert in madison square garden in 1973.

GARY MOORE: A HAMMOND C3 ORGAN, circa 1965/66, serial no. 92289, with Leslie 122 cabinet, bass pedals, Hammond bench, Leslie combo pedal and cables, with spare JBL speaker drivers, housed in three flight cases Note a piè di pagina Originally bought for the 1990 'Still Got The Blues' tour and featured on nearly every tour Gary undertook subsequently. It has been played by Don Airey, Tommy Eyre and Vic Martin and has been documented on the following VHS or DVD releases: An Evening Of The Blues, VHS, 1990, Live in London Blues For Greeny, VHS, 1995, Live at Sheperds Bush Empire Live Blues, 1993, Live in London Live At Montreux, 1995, 1999 and 2001 And the CD releases: After Hours, 1992 Blues Alive, 1993 BBM, Around The Next Dream, 1994 Blues For Greeny, 1995 Back To The Blues, 2001 Old New Ballads And Blues, 2006 Close As You Get, 2007 Bad For You Baby, 2009 Live At Bush Hall, 2007, released 2014, and countless tours across Europe since 1990. The organ has had EP6 connectors fitted, replacing the old-style 11 pin connectors, which were not made for touring. 2 x EP6 cables are in the set up, allowing for a spare cable, or one long cable, to enable the Leslie cabinet be played in a quieter corner of a stage, or even a side room, if needed. The Leslie cabinet has had the reverb unit removed, adapted to EP6 connectors, upgraded to EL34 output valves (achieving an additional 3 to 4 watts of output) and the valve relay replaced with a solid stage unit. The original speakers have been replaced with a 15inch JBL speaker and horn unit. 2 x spare horn diaphragms are included. The conversion was undertaken by Bill Dunne of W. Dunne & Co., a company based in Islington (London) that had been servicing and repairing keyboard instruments for more than 30 years. Also included is a Bill Dunne combo pedal/preamp, which connects to and controls the Leslie speaker, so that any instrument - guitar, electric piano, synthesiser or even a vocal - can be played through the revolving speaker. The organ unit has had the original 2 pin mains replaced with the safer 3 pin version and a 1/4 inch jack socket fitted, so the organ sound can be recorded directly from the organ, without the need for a Leslie cabinet.?

"I also have Bryston and Crown amps. There's a Pro Tools HD rig and all my other toys and keyboards, like a [Hammond] B3 and a Wurlitzer and my Studiologic Numa 88-key MIDI controller, which is my pride and joy."

According to this article, Wright used a Hammond C-3 Organ and Leslie speakers throughout his career with Pink Floyd. Full article [here.](sparebricks.fika.org/sbzine28/WrightGear-rev156.pdf)

> I think the thing that was the most fun to play around with was the old B3 organ with a Leslie speaker. We used that for "Televangelist" and "Everything To Help You Sleep," and it was really cool to just have a vintage instrument like that around to play with.

Other equipment used by the band over the years

In this image, Vangelis can be seen at Nemo Studios surrounded with studio equipment, including a Hammond B3.

In this video Cory Henry can be seen playing a Hammond B3 organ.

The bass pedals were used for the bassline of "Hang On St. Christopher" and "Straight to the Top (Rhumba)", as documented on this page from the website Tom Waits Library. > TW (1987): "*Little Jamaican shoeshine music, there* (Hang On St. Christopher). *Kind of a depraved Vaudeville train announcer. Ummm. . . It was really great to see Bill Schimmel, classically trained at Juilliard, on his hands and knees, playing the pedals of the B-3 organ with his fists. Working up a sweat. It was worth it just for that. Has kind of a little bit of a North African horn action going on --- that's Ralph Carney and Greg Cohen.*" (Source: "From the set of Ironweed, Tom Waits talks with Rip Rense" New York Post: Rip Rense. Early 1987) > MR (1987): "*Cohorts include guitarist Marc Ribot, percussionist Michael Blair, bassist and horn arranger Greg Cohen, Ralph Camey on saxophone and William Schimmel on a variety of equipment, from accordion to Leslie bass pedals. Waits' instruments include pump organ, guitar, mellotron, even something called the optigon.*" (Source: "Tom Waits is flying upside down (on purpose)" Musician: Mark Rowland. October, 1987) > TW (1987): "*I want to take the Leslie bass pedals and raise them up to a kitchen table so you can play them with your fists (on stage). Which is what we did in the studio on* "Hang On St. Christopher."* I'm trying to put together the right way of seeing the music. I worry about these things. If I didn't, it would be easier.*" (Source: "Tom Waits is flying upside down (on purpose)" Musician: Mark Rowland. October, 1987) > Q (1987): Still, a bassline played using the footpedals of a Hammond organ? TW: "*I used upright bass for so long, it's hard for me to find an electric bass that I like," he explains. "So that was the closest I could get. It's like a drum with a note in it, you know, real fat and out of focus. Bill Schimmel, the accordion player, played them with his hands. I'm thinking of taking them on the road and raising them to the level of a marimba.*" (Source: "Better Waits Than Ever" Music & Sound Output: Bill Forman. Vol. 7, No. 11. October, 1987) > TW (1987): "*Things that happened in those sessions were really good. Especially when people were playing instruments they weren't familiar with. I had Ralph Carney, the sax player, on several cuts where he played three saxes at once. And then Bill Schimmel playing the pedals, Greg Cohen playing alto horn... Sometimes approaching an instrument you're unfamiliar with, the discovery process is good.*"(Source: "Better Waits Than Ever" Music & Sound Output: Bill Forman. Vol. 7, No. 11. October, 1987)

In 1971, Ray acquires a Hammond B3 Portable Organ (a Bill Beer "chop") for use on the Post-Morrison tours. He can be seen playing it during the band's appearances on Beat-Club and The Old Grey Whistle Test. It becomes his main touring instrument along with the Fender Rhodes Electric Piano through 1972.

"Bought myself a little late Christmas gift..... "

In this video, Jon Lord talks about his Hammond B3. These are the most common drawbar settings (for "the beast" sound): - The first four (lower) drawbars near maximum or maximum - The last two (higher) drawbars on 1, 2 or 3, depending on the amplification and acoustics of the environment. - Al the other 3 middle drawbars on minimum or mute. It would be something like (in values): 888800022

On his official YouTube channel, Sherinian is shown at his home studio playing on his Hammond B3.

Used on "Age of Man", as stated by mix engineer Al Sutton in this January 2019 *Sound on Sound* interview. > "We set up at Blackbird with the drums in the centre of the main room. Sam and Jake were in the same space, but their amps were isolated. Sam also had a full keyboard rig set up, with a piano, B3, Wurlitzer and Fender Rhodes, and so on, which mostly were overdubbed. But he played the B3 and bass pedals live during the tracking of 'Age Of Man'. There's no bass guitar in that song. Josh was in an iso booth with a Neumann U67. We recorded the acoustic in the same booth. They played a lot of acoustic guitar! They have a lot of folk influences. It's not just blues and rock & roll."

It is a common fact that Gregg Allman played a Hammond B3.

Playing Dr. House in episode 15 from season 6 from House MD, Hugh Laurie can be seen playing three short parts of: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Overture and A Whiter Shade of Pale in a Hammond B3 organ.

At 6.50 you can see that it is definitely a Hammond B3 due to the knobs shown.

In the Inner Booklet of "Sinfonia para adolecentes" there's a list of every instrument Charly plays

“When all else fails, the Hammond is my inspiration. With G n’ R, I play an XK-5 through a Leslie 3300. It sounds unbelievable and I use it as a MIDI controller. I also play and XK-3 through a Leslie Studio 12 for clubs. It kicks ass, holds it’s own. And of course, in the studio, there is nothing like the B-3 through a Leslie. It’s the best sound ever.”

During an interview/studio tour with Spitfire audio we see a vast array of guitars and at the back, a hammond B3. Timestamp: 2:47

It was mostly real. It was a real Hammond B-3.

Pete is shown playing a Hammond Organ in this video.

"Once the string sounds started to sound great it all started to fall into place. Until then tuning oscillators was just not my idea of a good night. I preferred jamming on a Hammond organ with a screaming Leslie."

In this Instagram photo posted on Schnier's profile, Hammond B3 can be seen.

Has modified percussion boost (used on "Maze" for example).

In this rig rundown Grace mentions her hammond B3 wile talking about effect pedals.

The B-3, the instrument she most frequently plays, has been parabolized by Keyboard Products. Christine has no settings that she regularly favors. "I use the drawbars a lot; in fact, I don't think I've ever used anything else but the drawbars," she admits. "Sometimes I perk it up with a bit of percussion too. But I don't think there's any particular sound I go for every night. I try to get whatever sound suits the track best when we're recording, and I just look for something that sounds good when we're playing live."

In this video, Walsh can be seen using a Hammond B3 Organ.

Artist description on the Hammond official website

Jaffee played the B3 during the Wallflowers’ self-titled debut in 1992.

Showed up in a list of Ryo Okumoto’s gear on the Spock’s Beard official website.

Just one of his Hammonds.

> I also used the Baldwin Acrosonic upright, a Baldwin baby grand with tacks stuck in the hammers that I used on “Away When You Were Here,” the old upright from “Brick,” a Wurlitzer EP, a Hammond B-3 organ, and that little Casio that was laying around.

Morris Hayes used a Hammond B3 Organ with Prince from the 1990s to the 2010s. His B3 was housed in a plexiglass case and had a matching Leslie speaker.

In the 3:20's of this video, Paul Shaffer can be seen playing a Hammond B3 organ.

"Plus, on tour there were still all their older hits to be played too, providing lots of room for the three horns and Robert Lamm's Hammond B3 organ to still shine."

"Preston, who died Tuesday at 59 in Los Angeles after a long, kidney-related illness that had left him in a coma since November, was a virtuoso on the Hammond B-3 organ. Two albums recorded before he was 20 were aptly titled 'The Wildest Organ in Town' and 'Most Exciting Organ Ever.'"

His "rampaging" Hammond organ solo provided the climax to Kitty's Back in 1975.

Dennis often used a B3 organ in the studio, especially on The Grand Illusion.

The B3 puts Al Kooper in the map!

At the top of the article it says "Todd Ögren-Brooks, with:Rival Sons, plays: B-3"

"Mydland, who joined in 1979 only to die suddenly on July 26, 1990, brought a classic soul and R&B sound that shook away the cobwebs, courtesy of a Hammond B3 organ with spinning Leslie speaker." He's known for the Hammond, which has now been passed down to Jeff Chimenti, Dead and Company's current keyboardist.

You can see a B3 in the photo, this from the red tour with taylor swift

His official website lists him as playing it.

This is one of Joey Defrancescos main instruments. It can bee seen in most picturs of him "Right. And the whole thing now is nobody wants to move a B-3 around. It’s too heavy. I mean, I used to do a lot of it; actually, I miss those days. It was fun. But now they have these things called clones or “clonewheels,” which is a play on the B-3 organ’s “tonewheels.” There’s a lot of companies making them, even Hammond, which is actually Hammond Suzuki now. They have their own versions of the instruments. They’re digital. They’re smaller and a lot easier to move around."

RT3, with Leslie speaker. This instrument appears on list of instruments on official artist's website (http://olszak.pl/).

"I actually started playing the organ because the band I wanted to join already had 2 guitar players and, because they were all school mates, they didn't want to fire them! They told me that if I could play the organ I could join the band so I swapped one of my guitars, learned some basic chords and did my first gig with them the following day!" http://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2012/10/ken-hensley-interview.html

"There were two organs, the Vox Super-Continental, and the Hammond B-3. Neither suited my purposes at all well, although the Hammond was a step up." In the book Garcia: An American Life, Constanten also mentions his switch from the Vox to the Hammond B3. Listen to any show with Constanten from 1968-1969, you'll hear the B3 swirling around.

"With the Shakes, I have a pretty sweet right now. They recently bought a road-worthy B3 that has folding legs and fits into a road case. So I usually have that and a Rhodes and the Nord Electro. The Electro i normally use for just piano sounds unless the Rhodes is having issues, which happens from time to time."

In the studio, Matt played Wurly, Hammond B-3, and Hohner Clavinet. He brought in a trio of Rolands from his live rig—Jupiter-6, Juno-106, and Fantom-G—then fleshed things out with Arturia Minimoog V and Prophet V soft synths, and “a little bit” of Reason programming.

He uses a BC because he doesn't use percussion.

This obituary by The Gaurdian says he played a Hammond.

OUR FAVOURITE SHOP (24:30) You can see Mick playing his Hammond B-3 in a custom stand that rocks forward and backwards. On top of his Hammond in this concert he had his Yamaha DX-7 mounting on top. In other performances he has placed his Wurlitzer A200 electric piano on top of his Hammond.

Seen in this video at the beginning. Custom painted white.

In this article Rogue talks about using a B3 on "Descended Like Vultures" and he is credited for playing on that album.

Mentioned by Hornsby in this May 2017 Road to Jacksonville interview. > **Besides the piano and besides the guitar, do you play other instruments? If yes, which one?** > No, only piano/organ and guitar. I’ve never been much of a synth. player or midi-patched keyboardist. For keyboards, I stick strictly with standard piano and Hammond B-3.

Champlin performing with Chicago at Casino de Paris, Paris in 2008 on the B3.

From an interview with Boom Gaspar and Josh Evans on Keyboard Mag. "The combination of the grittiness of a vintage B-3, the reliability and quality of the Nord Stage, and the flexibility of the Receptor and [Native Instruments] Kontakt allows Boom to have a good hybrid between vintage keyboard sounds and modern synthesis and expandability."

"I’ve been playing a [Hammond] B3 for a long time, and I know how to do a lot of different things with it. I know how to shape the sound, how to move it somewhere, make it go. My hands know what to do. Especially piano. You can always find a place that works with the singer on piano."
