The Hammond Organ

By Kenneth A. Hallett

This vintage book contains a detailed guide to the Hammond organ, being a complete manual on the principles of organ plating with reference to arrangements from Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and more. The Hammond organ is an electric organ that was invented by Laurens Hammond and John M., first manufactured in 1935. Contents include: “The Colors of the Drawbars”, “Operation of the Hammond Organ”, “Starting the Organ”, “The Pre-set Keys”, “The Chorus Control”, “The Tremulant”, “The Expression Pedal”, “The Harmonic Drawbars”, “Practical Study”, “Exercises for the Free use of the Ankle Joint”, “Method of Pedalling without Looking at the Feet”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the organ.
