Members minimoog Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 Have been searching on this but not clear if its a Real one or something that is sampledbased- Sorry have questions on my mind this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AnotherScott Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 If by "real" you mean "with actual tonewheels inside," I would guess it's probably the LP-100/Porta-B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JeffLearman Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 And that's not "small" ! BTW, there are more possibilities than tonewheel vs samples. There is analog modeling, and digital modeling. Most modern clones use a combination of both methods. One of the best clones is VB3, which I believe uses no samples. "Real" could also mean "legally permitted to use the Hammond trademark", which applies to any Hammond/Suzuki product, all of which are digital clones. The clones are really quite good now. IMHO, there's a much bigger difference between a real Leslie speaker and its electronic emulators than between Hammond organs and its emulators.

Members nat whilk II Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 There are lots of clones and modeled organs and sampled ones that sound better than the cheaper real Hammonds. To get fabulous real-sounding B3 type rig, I think if you hooked up a real leslie to a Hammond XK3 (single manual, digital, lightweight) you'd have the full-on sound weighing in about as light as it gets. nat whilk ii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meatball Fulton Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 The new SK-1 is the smallest Hammond branded organ yet. It's only 15 pounds, wicked light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Plink Floyd Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 What is the smalles REAL hammond?None of them. But if you must have a real one, a chopped spinet might weigh in around 200 pounds. And don't forget to add 140 more pounds for the Leslie.

Members mate_stubb Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 The smallest real Hammond worth playing is the M-3. Case closed. edit: the chopped hammond in the pic above is an M-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Plink Floyd Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 well ok i think that is the way to go do all B3 can be chopped?Sure, if that's what you want. http://bborgan.com/northern-chop But, do the world a favor and chop an A-102 instead. It's a shame to saw up an actual B or C cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members minimoog Posted November 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thanx to you the world wil not have to lissent to a "app" for a B3 but a real one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 An M-3 is the smallest real Hammond worth playing, but it does not sound the same as a B-3, C-3, or A-100. Biggest difference is missing high drawbar tones at the top of the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yorgatron Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 Sure, if that's what you want. But, do the world a favor and chop an A-102 instead.

Members tspit74 Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'd love to chop my M3. I hate the grandma's spinet look with the speaker inside. I have a friend with a chopped M3 from the 70's. There's something so much cooler about it than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AnotherScott Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 The smallest real Hammond worth playing is the M-3. Case closed. The Porta-B is pretty much an M-3, pre-chopped. Although only one manual, I thought this was a really cool chop of an M3, too: Though if I was going to go through the effort to bring a "real" tonewheel Hammond and Leslie, I'd want 2 manuals of 61 keys (and roadies, of course). If it's that important to be authentic, might as well go all the way. The 44-key boards are pretty limiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members suitandtieguy Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 The Porta-B is pretty much an M-3, pre-chopped. no. it's a portabilised T-100. also anyone bitching about the weight of a Hammond needs to stop bitching or just buy a Triton LE because that's pretty lightweight and {censored} it has like 1000 sounds in it. good sound is heavy. get over it. if you haven't gigged an organ, bench, pedalboard, and leslie by yourself out of a minivan then you just haven't lived. that's the way it goes. also there is an organist named Chester Thompson and a drummer named Chester Thompson. they were once in the same Santana band. i wish i could have seen that tour. i think they should find a guitarist named Chester Thompson as well and create a band called CT3. this would be the most amazing band since Attila, and ideas like this are why i need to be a high-powered record producer.

I have a friend with a chopped M3 from the 70's. There's something so much cooler about it than mine.I'll bet it sounds dandy through the MotionSound. But you don't really lug it around to gigs, do you? I admit, in the late 70s I chopped an L100 and an M3, but that was out of necessity. I really like the homely, butt-ugly looks of the M3. It doesn't remind me of Granny at all, rather someone's Weird Old Uncle Horace. And I know you're aware that chopping doesn't save much weight. But if you just have to change it because of it's looks, try this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members minimoog Posted November 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 1.- Soo why don't they sell real chopped hammonds? 2.- Can all hammonds be chopped? maybe also replace the sides with a less heavy material? lookfor the most ways to make it less heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Plink Floyd Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 Now that's cool! It is amusing. I copped those pix a few years ago from an ebay ad. The organ wasn't for sale, the guy was selling plans for the woodworking. Iirc, he claimed that you didn't have to buy any additional wood, but it seems you'd at least have to get two more legs.
