This site is highly dedicated to
Hammond organs and Leslie speakers.
Please call this site 'Takagi-An' in Japanese and also in English.

This is Hammond M-3 produced in 1950's later half. |
- Hammond organ was introduced by Laurens
Hammond in Apr. 1935. It was an electric organ.
- This organ used a tone wheel generator as its sound
source. The tone wheel rotated with constant speed driven by
a synchronous motor, the wheel was adjacent to a magnet and a coil
assembly. This organ was first aimed to imitate a pipe organ sound.
And it was able to be purchased for reasonable expense compared
to pipe organs.
- Unfortunately this tone wheel Hammond organ
was discontinued.
- But it's popularity is deep-rooted. And it is
still used in many music genres.
- Recently several so-called "Clone" organs
have been released.
