bought this beauty for the grand sum of £2 today...bargain! it needed a plug and was sold as seen, but works perfect! its a reed organ, so its got some sorta air pump arrangemetn in it that blows air over the reeds inside when you press the diferent keys. ill get some samples to ya in a bit...

Aug 01, 2004 07:17 pm Thats why I just buy it if I like it. But then again I ponder some things too long and there gone when I get there. So its about the same as you flame.
But indeed, very nice reedy organ. The air pump noise is grand and give it the real juice sound.

Aug 02, 2004 04:45 am the real juice sound? you sound like a jamacian selling coconut milk!
Aug 02, 2004 08:37 am Good deal! A guy in my band bought a Hammond Organ (similar to the b3 but smaller and with internal lesile) for $20 at a garage sale! He cleaned it up and it sounds amazing! I'm sooo jealous. Now I constantly watch garage sales just in case ;) However, my Native Instruments B4 does the job quite well and weighs a little bit less ;)

Aug 02, 2004 08:38 am ive got b4...but ya cant beat the real thing!
Aug 02, 2004 09:56 am no, you can't. But Native Instruments did a fantastic job reproducing the sound. I can usually get it to sound really good, however sometimes it seems to be missing some minor overtones in the chords. But, I still use it for recording purposes. Trying to mic a real leslie cab isn't exacty easy ;) Not to meantion lugging my gear over to my buddy's house to record. Still, you can beat the analog, tonewheel hammond :)

Aug 03, 2004 11:00 am That's awesome! Kinda like a harmonium you don't have to pump - way easier! By the way, I just have to interject here, that when you guys get talking, us poor Yanks have no idea what you're talking about! It's starting to sound all Trainspotting in here!
