This is an incredible system and an incredible offering! My husband, a former jazz bassist, had always dreamed of one day playing a Hammond B3 organ. Unfortunately, a stroke deprived of him of his ability to continue his organ studies soon after its purchase. It has hardly ever been used! We paid about $5,000 for the organ including the powered speaker, freight and tax.We can have the set professionally crated (and price the shipping after we know where you are located). If you are in Michigan, we can deliver to you. The sounds from this Hammond are amazing: organ sounds ranging from Jimmy Smith jazz to a majestic pipe organ in church; different piano sounds (from an old upright to a grand piano); and way-out freaky electric sounds that are just fun!
This organ is ideal for a musician who does gigs and needs an instrument a single person can handle and carry in his car.
