Who here plays organ in church?
 

I do NOT mean "keyboards", I mean real Hammond rotary drawbar old time religion King James organ like the ones used by the apostles.

Do they still exist??

Hubby repaired organs of all varieties for many years. The market basically disappeared.

We have one. A lady in our church plays it. I play keyboard. Love to a hear an organ played right! I have messed around on it when no one was there but that's about it.

Actually my wife does, I am looking for a good Hammond organ right now as a matter of fact.

They are still out there, but they can get really expensive depending on what you are looking for.

My wife is our main keyboard/piano player. She played the organ for years though. We have a Hammond B3 that gets used regularly. Love what it can add to a church service when (as Godsdrummer noted) played well.

We have a B3 Hammond can't be Apostolic without it.:thumbsup

Re: Who here plays organ in church?
 

None here. my Martin acoustic has to be Apostolic though. ;-)

I played the organ for years. I loved the B3, they are the best! I am a decent organ player but my sister can really tear it up :)

Re: Who here plays organ in church?
 

Good! I need some tips, like some licks and riffs to practice for drills, and a basic approach to rhythmic playing with the right hand (chord movements, etc).

LOL... well, I would love to help you, but it is rather hard to do on a forum. I would suggest you go online to Youtube and type in B3 organ tutorials, or runs, or whatever. I remember one guy being particularly helpful to me in the years I played the organ. He had some amazing runs and chords that could be played as fillers, and once you learned them, you could incorporate them into any key. I can't remember his name now, though.. sorry! But it was on youtube, so perhaps just spend some time on there seeing what you can find.

I play by ear mostly, and would just hear something, and then try to pick it out myself. Do you play by ear?
