I've a Hammond M100 series organ (nic-named "Baby B") and a 122 Leslie tone cabinet that I've owned since the mid seventies; it's been a "living room" instrument (those who understand this statement know what I'm saying). This model Hammond was used by Procol Harum to record "Whiter Shade of Pale" in the studio and is/was very popular with both jazz and rock groups. I no longer play and am willing to give the organ and tone cabinet to a good home. You just have to promise me that it'll not wind up on the road and ruined, it's a piece of history. Yours for free at my house here in Maryland; just a service for the organ, a little electric hardware for the Leslie hookup and you're in business. I had a Hammond A100 series and sold it to a church in Baltimore, who BTW was ecstatic to be able to purchase the instrument. (Black church... and my neighborhood rocked for a few hours when they came to look at her. The street was packed!:))

Holy hell... I'm sure there are a couple of studios who would love to get their hands on her! You just can't replicate that sound- especially with the B3 speaker cabinet (the one with the rotating horn)

Hi Steve,

Nice talking to you today! Here is a link to the Peabody Recording Arts page:

http://peabody.jhu.edu/conservatory/recordingarts/http://peabody.jhu.edu/conservatory/recordingarts/

We have fixed up several vintage instruments over the years...we've done a couple Rhodes pianos, a Wurlitzer, a Clavinet, and we even took an old upright piano and converted it into a honky tonk tack piano.

Maybe we can touch base next week and talk about the logistics of moving the Hammond? i will also look into what we need to have you be able to claim the donation...

Thanks!
