Are B3s A Thing Of The Past ?
 

Are Hammond Organs such as The B3 a thing of the past ?

Most churches now have the electronic keyboards which are very good and portable.I suppose many of them can make organ type sounds.

But that speaker with a motor in it that go with Hammond organs are hard to replace in sound to me.

And what is a tent revival without a Hammond organ ?

So is The Hammond organ a thing of the past ?

Nope! There will always be people out there that prefer the real thing! It's kinda' like having the real Holy Ghost! ha!

I think Hell will be littered with electronic keyboards that imitate real organs and real pianos! :foottap

Even C3's are still around! You are correct though that you see them less and less in Pentecostal / Charismatic churches as the style of church music in those churches has evolved from being more Black based to Hillsong based.

I even like a Fender Rhodes but it ain't a real piano.

I went to see a blues band the other night and they had a real Hammond B3 with the Leslie speaker. One of the guys with me said "What is that piece of furniture that guy is playing?" ....Lol. I explained it.

I use a Roland Juno synth as my second keyboard, and it has a pretty good range of organ sounds, including a B3 patch, but nothing like the real thing! It's just pain in the butt to haul around!

Nope B3 or Hell here in this church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Are B3s A Thing Of The Past ?
 

I can handle organs. I can handle real piano's. I can handle guitars. I cannot hand tambourines!

Re: Are B3s A Thing Of The Past ?
 

You got that right Randy. As a worship leader I have had guest show up with tambourines
and play them in their pew.

Playing them no where close to the rhythm of the music we were playing.

I tell them if like to audition for our praise team we'd be glad to have come to rehearsal next Friday night. That usually is the last time we have to endure their incessant banging on their tambourines

Re: Are B3s A Thing Of The Past ?
 

No, Bro. Scott. B3's are not a thing of the past. We are in the process of purchasing
one right now. The church, that is!

Even if a person can keep rythem, by the time the sound get's to the auditium and back to the stage there is a time delay.

What? Jezus enters the house when they fire up the Hammond....

Re: Are B3s A Thing Of The Past ?
 

I like to hear the old organ opperated under an anointed and gifted musician. I think that it has been to our hurt that we have done away with them in so many places, or people do not take the time to practice and pray as they should.

Re: Are B3s A Thing Of The Past ?
 

I like the sound of the bass foot pedal on the B3 organ.
