Hammond

Hammond organs and stage keyboards are often used with Leslie rotary speakers. A Hammond organ is an organ designed by Laurens Hammond in April 1935. Although the Hammond organ was originally sold to churches as a cheap alternative to pipe organs, it quickly became a popular instrument among jazz and blues musicians. Hammond organs are the oldest keyboard brand in the world. Today, Hammond makes a wide range of organs, solo keyboards and stage keyboards. Leslie still makes the models like Heritage 122 and Heritage 142, and also the Leslie 2101, 2103 and the new 3500 serie

Hammond also makes Melodica:
PRO44H This deluxe Melodion is the first to have a 44-note keyboard and a built-in microphone with volume control. Its strong yet lightweight construction is built to last, like any Hammond. Its tone is warm and deep, from the phosphor bronze reeds.

PRO44HP is the newest member of the Hammond-Suzuki Melodion family . It`s a “High- Power” model. Taking the 44 a step beyond, the 44HP has new reeds that give a brighter, louder sound. The perforated body allows more sound to escape, making this model perfect for electric band use. Like the 44, the 44HP has a built-in microphone, however this deluxe Melodion is the first to sport a 44-note keyboard and a built-in microphone with volume control. Its strong yet lightweight construction is built to last, like any Hammond. Its tone is warm and deep, from the phosphor bronze reeds.

The sound of a Bass Harmonica is unique and haunting. The Hammond PRO-24B makes it easy to add this color to your tonal palette.
It is also a necessary component of any Melodion ensemble. The PRO-24B has the same fine build quality as the 44 and 44HP, 24 keys, and 2 built in independent microphones.

Hammond Soprano Melodion PRO-27S is another member of the Hammond Melodion family. It`s a Soprano model.
