AnthonyM Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hammond B3 Mk 2-Organ with Leslie Speaker and Bench New This is a store demo model once played by Booker T. Is this how expensive these full blown digital recreations are? I thought the other forum members would find this interesting! An authorized Hammond organ dealer has listed this instrument on Reberb. hammond B3 Mk-2-Organ with Leslie Speaker and Bench New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reezekeys Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Looks like Booker T was in the store once, sat down and played the organ for a bit and had his picture taken and signed the manual. I wonder if the store is going to share any of the proceeds of this sale with him, since they're trading on his name & reputation to sell it. I suppose musical instrument dealers need all the help they can get, and I note the price isn't much out of line with what an anonymous new B3 MkII sells for. Not being a Hammond-phile, I wonder if these digital Mk2s are much sought out by the cognoscenti. Seems to me a used tonewheel Hammond that's been properly maintained and restored would still set you back less than one of these â or am I wrong there?

Baldwin Funster Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 It couldn't be that great or Booker would have took it home for himself. So what we have is a reject Booker didnt feel the need to keep. Quote FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz+ Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Booker lives up the block, maybe I should have him play my Mojo 61 a little and take a picture?

Steve Nathan Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 This reminds me of when I'd been in Muscle Shoals a while and started to get known. Pretty soon I was getting booked on sessions all over the SouthEast, Birmingham, & Homewood, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Tupelo, Lookout Mountain, Ft. Payne. Literally every studio I went in, they would point to a Hammond and tell me "that used to be Greg Alman's organ". Quote Don't rush me.
