Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Hammond M-100 Organ.

Features and functionality

  • The M-100 has a built-in speaker, unlike the B3 which requires an external Leslie speaker for full sound projection.

    Source
  • The M-100 features one set of drawbars for each 49-note manual, contrasting the B3's two switchable drawbar sets and 12 presets for each 61-note manual.

    Source
  • The M-100 can be connected to a Leslie 251 if a conversion kit was installed, utilizing a 6-pin connection.

    Source

Comparisons

  • M-100 series organs are considered spinet models, lacking the deeper, richer sound electronics found in the full-sized B3 organs.

    Source
  • The M-100 is considered a better choice for rock recording and performing compared to the H-100 due to shared design elements with the B-3.

    Source

Build quality

  • The M-100's keys have a different molded profile introduced in the 1960s, less suited for gospel and jazz organ techniques compared to the B3.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The M-100's 13 pedals are arranged in a straight layout and are not centered under the manuals, unlike the B3's 27-note pedalboard which is radiating and centered.

    Source
  • Mic'd up performance of the M-100 is praised, especially since most units are from the early 60s.

    Source
  • Some Hammond players intentionally avoid Leslie speakers, opting for other amps to achieve unique, non-classic sounds.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Installing 1/4 inch outputs for external routing adds versatility, achievable with basic soldering skills.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Free listings of M-100 organs in good condition are considered worthwhile, advisable to bring help for transport.

    Source
  • M-100 organs can be obtained for as low as $100, but some consider even that too high given the instrument's limitations.
