Hammond B3-Mk2 Console Organ - Mixdown Magazine

mixdownmag.com.au

The Hammond B-3mk2 Console Organ masterfully blends vintage charm with modern functionality, offering players a familiar yet fresh experience. Its aesthetic pays homage to the classic B3, with a beautifully crafted design that feels authentic. The digital engine enhances usability, allowing for effortless control over sound settings, which is a significant improvement over its predecessors. However, while the innovation is commendable, some purists may miss the raw, unprocessed vibe of the traditional B3 sound. Ultimately, the B-3mk2 is a triumph for Hammond enthusiasts seeking versatility, though it may not satisfy every traditionalist's yearning for authenticity.

Hammond USA Artist Page

Product: Portable B-3mkII, XK Pro System, Sk2

National Endowment for the Arts, April 23, 2020, “Just Have Fun! An Art Talk with Jazz Musician Matthew Whitaker”

NEA: What led you to want to play the organ?

WHITAKER: I think I started playing at church, at the end of church services. My parents didn’t really want me to play it, probably because they thought it would be too loud. But my church pastor told them to let me play, and then friends gave me a small organ. After that I got a Hammond A100, then finally a portable Hammond B3, and a few others as well.

NEA: Just how portable is a portable Hammond B3?

WHITAKER: [Laughter.] Well it’s still pretty heavy but it’s definitely lighter than others.
