Intro

HammondOrgan

Electric organ with two hand-played keyboards and a foot-controlled bass keyboard. Hammonds have drawbars which can be pushed and pulled in and out to additively synthesize a variety of timbres. Released in 1935, the Hammond was the first popular electric organ. It was originally marketed as a budget substitute for pipe organs, but soon took on a life of its own, particularly as a common and fundamental instrument in gospel, blues, jazz, and rock music. Commonly played with a rotating Leslie speaker cabinet, which, depending on the speed of rotation, can create either a chorus or vibrato effect.
