1950's Hammond M-100 in Orange County CA for $150 or Trade - All Works!!




Okay I know this is a guitar Blog but c'mon... check this out and compare it to the B3 listed below - this is an 88 key tonewheel Organ with all tube circuitry - and tguess what these M-series organs sound great. Heck, he will even trade this for an acoustic guitar etc.


Check out the M-series description form a Vintage Hammond Organ site (http://www.hollowsun.com/):



Think of Hammond tonewheel organs and I'll bet that your first thought is almost certainly going to be of the company's mighty B3 or C3.


However, there was more to Hammond's range of products than just these two venerable instruments that included the A-, L-, M- and T-series to name just a few.
And whilst the M-series of organs is not a range from Hammond's history that immediately springs to mind, you will almost certainly have heard one.


Despite claims that it was a C3, it was, in fact, an M100 that was used on Procul Harum's massive hits "Whiter Shade Of Pale" and "Conquistador". An M-series organ is also rumoured to have been used on the classic "Green Onions" by Booker T and MGs.
Other well known M-series players include Rick Wright of Pink Floyd, John Paul Jones from Led Zep, Jon Lord from Deep Purple and Francis Monkman of Curved Air as well as many others.

For sale is a Vintage Hammond Organ from the 50s. It is a model M and it sounds great. Recently oiled and I put a new power chord on it because the original was falling apart. Amazing Hammond tone. All tubes work and warm up evenly. 88 Keys and 12 bass pedals. Everything works great and sounds awesome. I just don't have room for it anymore. Sad to see it go but I want it to be played. I am open to trade for an acoustic guitar, electric guitar, pedal steel, tube guitar amp, ect... Let me know what you've got.
