Hey Motts, did that organ work?

I don't think so... I think it needs electricity to work by the looks of the speakers underneath it.

this organ looks like the type that you have to keep pushing pedals to make it work...i hope that made sense

I think this is a Hammond B3, can anyone confirm this? If not, it definitely looks like one.

nah, the lower pedals are for the bassline. it's kind of interesting to see the old timers play these things, using both hands so much between the upper and lower keyboards, flipping switches to change instruments and moving their feet around.

The Hammond B-3 doesn't have built-in speakers as this one does, they usually are accompanied by a Leslie speaker cabinet for this reason. Also, the cabinet for the B-3 is more boxey looking than this one, and a B-3 has drawbars, which this one does not have. This looks more like a home-type organ that was popular in the 60's/70's. I own a music instrument store and I have people come in all the time trying to sell me organs of this type, but with electronic keyboards being popular these days, the market for home organs is now almost nonexistant.

This is 100% a Conn Organ, the company went under in the late 70's. these organs had a decent sound. this one is a home model. Church organist prefer to have a pedal board of 32 notes.

i'm not entirely sure but that could be a B3 if it is you should find a way to take it and sell it. It could be worth alot

I'd love to play that... phantom of the opera style XD

holy shit

That is not a B3. I learned to play on a B3 and it only had a single octave of foot pedals. A B3 would not be worth more than $100- The B3 has an internal speaker but it is not powerful. It needs the Leslie to project

nope not a B3, or any Hammond for that matter....I'd have to cast my lot with the guy who said it was a Conn organ, although I initially thought it was a Thomas organ (looks like Thomas-colored tilting tablets. In excellent condition...looks like all it needs is to cleaned up and a few broken keys repaired. It more than likely still works....these things are usually bulletproof.

i agree with AGC B3's in the day where expensive most people bought C3's or Conn's like this one

Beautiful.

does it work???

This looks like a Story & Clark or a Thomas Organ. It's not a Hammond. I know because I was a music major in collage. Hammond had the slide bars. They were know for there ability the change pitch with just a touch.

Do you know what building this was in? It looks like it might've been in the Assembly Building, AKA the auditorium.

This is a conn 720 organ. (or similar.

A HAMMOND B3 is not anything what so ever like this organ. A b3 is about 20 years older than this, and is in so many different ways different than this. Side by side they look nothing alike.

These organs are going for free all the time, not rare, not sought after.

A hammond b3 can be worth easily over $5,000.
