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!

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