Repair and service of these instruments relies on stripping parts from existing Organs. The 21st Century Hammond Organ Company does not manufacture or stock the components and parts required by Antique Hammonds. This is the primary source of most dealers’ income. Although the initial price can be reasonable, few sellers will mention the costly maintenance to keep an Antique Hammond in a condition that inspires confidence. The Antique Hammond you buy will not be a museum piece, but a workhorse called upon for constant use. Although Hammond’s build quality was (and is) heroic, and many of their voices are still majestic, these instruments legitimately qualify as Antiques, with all the potential drawbacks inherent as such. Hammond ceased production of electro-mechanical Organs in 1975, meaning the newest “old school” instrument is at least 40 years old with the majority of classics in the 50-60-70 year old range. A quick scan of the market shows pre-owned Hammonds are available at attractive prices, but the final cost can be much much more. Foremost in this process, Your Congregation wishes to keep the purchase within budget. Your Church has decided to own a Hammond organ, or perhaps replace an older Hammond that has seen better days.
Replacement Parts need to be sourced from old scrapped organs.OEM Factory Replacement Parts are not available.Very few different models are available.Electro-Mechanical Tone Wheel Generators Hammonds have not been built since 1975.Renew your faith and confidence in the King Of Instruments. Many Modern Hammonds also feature voices beyond the familiar ones, those of Acoustic/Electric Pianos, Strings, Brass, and Synthesizer, to name a few these to compliment the contemporary sounds of Worship. Low price brings no compromise in power or quality of sound.
The march of time has brought new music to your Worship, and Hammond has kept pace, with the ability to jump generations with the greatest of ease.Įconomic considerations are always at the forefront, and Hammond has made sure each of our instruments packs the mighty punch of the iconic B-3 from our entry level Xk-1c, through the revolutionary new Model A-3, clear up to the B-3mkII, a “spitting image” of the Classic Organ. Luckily, Hammond Organ knows and respects the Church’s traditions, and offers a line of instruments that keeps those traditions, with the sounds (and looks) you have come to love, trust, and confide in. Parts for them are scarce and upkeep is expensive. Time marches on, and the revered Vintage Hammonds of the past 80 years are now antiques.
In short: It’s the SOUND, the SOUL, the ONE! It’s tradition, it’s inspiration, it’s comfort and it’s forever. It is impossible to think of a Church Service without hearing the Hammond Organ singing along. The Only Choice for YOUR Church From Hymns to Gospel to Contemporary Christian
