Hammond B3

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."

"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.'"

“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.”

Artist description on the Hammond official website

"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."

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."

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."

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.
