	the mighty Hammondorgan
		The Hammond organ was from the beginning primarily meant to be an instrument for use in homes and churches but it came to spread for far wider use.
		Many musicians found the organ to be very handy due to the fact that the organist handled the base with the base pedals, which meant that the only thing missing to have a complete band was a drummer.
		The Hammond organ was now officially established as one of the coolest (and heaviest) instruments in the world, and thus made its definitive entry into the music history.

	Chapter XIV - The Hammond Organ is Born
		Now Hammond and his assistants, with their own little tone wheels, duplicated many of Miller's experiments, and then pushed on into uncharted seas and all sorts of wierd sounds, some musical and some not, came forth from his laboratory at any time of day.

	The Hammond Organ: Beauty In The B
		Hammond, a mechanical engineer who was guilty of that profession's most forgivable sin—overengineering—had originally recommended oiling every three or four months, far too often for home use, leading to leaks on living room carpets.
		After examining several church organs and seeing that the top seven notes of the then-standard 32 bass pedals showed little signs of wear, he simply decided to abbreviate them to 25; he also concluded, with little concern for player ergonomics, that it would be cheaper to make them flat rather than concave.
		Other organs had developed a sustain (or âdie-awayâ release) effect, and equipping the Hammond with the transistors needed to enable it on all of the instrumentâs harmonics would have been cost-prohibitive.

		Sometimes, these organs will include an add-on, such as the Trek II Percussion unit, which will make it sound very similar to a B3, and is a good option for those starting out who can't afford a B3.
		The same goes for the CV, BC, and BV, which were all made prior to the 2 series, and are generally much harder to upkeep due to their age.
		Of course, as with the Trek II unit, some folks will complete after-market modifications to their organs that remedy this situation, and this upgrade generally increases the value of an older organ.
