September 1955 Hammond Ad
I found this on the back page of an old music magazine and thought some of you might appreciate it. Take care.

Oh yes, that’s great as it appears being from an era when still nobody had an idea of what Jon Lord could do with it.
I love the point „Easy to play instrument, even if you know little or nothing about music!“ Yeah, that’s what I ever feel …

Yeah that part cracked me up too! It's "almost" as if they themselves didn't have the slightest idea what they had just invented!

Re: September 1955 Hammond Ad
Yep, but actually what we can read there was the original target of the product, at the time; also Mr. Marshall and the likes initially didn't design their amps to produce overdrive or distortion, then someone cranked up the volume too much and ...

Re: September 1955 Hammond Ad
.. and by the way, the organ is "played" without any amplification on the pictures ... of course it can be called an „Easy to play instrument, even if you know little or nothing about music!“ if you don't hear anything from the catastrophy which is being produced if you know nothing about music

Re: September 1955 Hammond Ad
Yeah, definitely so. But I think in the case of the Hammond is even a bit more "extreme", so to speak. Marshall amps were not designed to be overdriven, but they were designed as amplifiers/speakers by people who knew what they were doing. Laurens Hammond on the other hand was not a musician, and the very idea of emulating different pipe ranks by mixing doses of different harmonics could and can be considered dubious in acoustic terms. And lo and behold it doesn't really emulate pipes! It's really a big cosmic coincidence that we have got the Hammond as we know it!maxpiano wrote:Yep, but actually what we can read there was the original target of the product, at the time; also Mr. Marshall and the likes initially didn't design their amps to produce overdrive or distortion, then someone cranked up the volume too much and ...

Re: September 1955 Hammond Ad
I like this picture especially. How tall do you think the woman is in the picture?

Re: September 1955 Hammond Ad
Good point!! Clarified in my post - perhaps I picture the B3 larger than it is, but it looks tiny compared to the woman standing next to it.Hlaalu wrote:By "model" do you mean the girl or the organ?WannitBBBad wrote:I like this picture especially. How tall do you think the model is?
