Hi all,
I think i have found the perfect solution.
I had an EL40 for a number of years and sold it a year ago for 600
pounds ,which was lucky for me!
I sold it because i was collecting a different type of organ in the
shape of a three manual(3 x 61 ,1 x 32)white and gold Conn theatre
organ which came with a Leslie 720 and 520.
This organ only lasted six months in the house as it was either the
organ goes ,or i go!!
so it made its way to Holland and in the meantime i made do with a
Conn 580 which is a three manual spinet but that just didnt match up
to the big one ,so that went as well.
I was then left with a Hammond B200 which i used with the
aformentioned Leslie 720,but i decided that it was too heavy to move
around so that went the E-bay way too!!
I was then left with one organ which is the reason for this post.
This was a Hammond Aurora Classic and connects straight to the
Leslie 720.
The organ came into the front room after the sale of all the others.
The organ cost 70 pounds and of course the Leslie was free as it
came with the large Conn!(minimal cash layout).
And then lo and behold ,someone GIVES me an EL90!!!
So the Hammond goes back into the shed together with the Leslie.
There is no comparison with the Yamaha flutes compared to the
Hammond,its so easy to use,really beefy sound and as the Leslie is a
twin channel doppler and rotor model,the sound is spot on even
though the Hammond is an early eighties Hammond-Suzuki model and
solid state analogue.
But a major difference is that the yamahas for some reason only have
EIGHT drawbars whereas all Hammonds and most other drawbar organs
had NINE!!
The tierce 1-1/3 is missing a why this is on a comprehensive
instrument ,i cannot understand.
So ,if you want the proper sound,get a cheap Hammond and Leslie and
use the Yamaha for everything else!!
The Hammond and Leslie can be found on Ebay and quite often do not
even get a bid!
Has anyone got any discs of rhythms for the EL90 that they can do me
copies.?
