The original series included a "Concert" model - the Hammond D, which had additional pedal drawbars, that played higher notes. If I remember correctly, it also had a 32 note pedal board instead of 25 notes. Haven't seen one in years. Seems like there might have been a D2 also, but there was not a D3 - with percussion like a B3 or C3.

The computerized Native Instruments B4 synthesizer does have four drawbars for the pedal notes.

yup pics would be helpful

Below is the picture of an RT#, it is the same as a D-152 (minus internal speakers). The RT3 has extra pedal stops on the right hand side, next to the lower manual. It gives you the option to use a 32' pedelstop as well as 4'. It has more option, but I forget what they are

Here is a kinda better pic.

So do you need a Leslie with an 18" sub to properly reproduce a 32' pedal tone?

I dont think they make em that big. They were meant to be played though a tone cabinet,  not a leslie. And the tone cabinet speakers were not that big. I'd guess they are about 8-10 inches?

The 32' stop on the rt3, though a leslie, sounded kinda flat. nothing like the 32' on digital pipe organ. with proper speakers.

They made this concert model, to be used in the big cathedrals, by classical organist, who would need 32 pedals and more variety in their pedal voices. on a real pipe organ, you can "couple" the sound from the manuals, and play them in your pedals

here is some interesting history on the hammond http://www.hammond-organ.com/History/hammond_lore.htm

I was being sarcastic.  It's always ironic to think that Hammond never fully realized his goal of recreating the pipe organ sound.  And that annoying click the keys make.  Noooooo!

I figured that, but real digital pipe organs gave bigger subs, for the bass notes. Of course it is no match, against a real 32 foot long pipe

I like that click. I only hear it when the chorus is on

thanks to all ...but, thats not the hammond that i saw.
the extra pedal drawbars were in the middle of keyboard where they would normally be.
It does say hammond tight accross the front
***the on/off switch is on the left hand side. (not the right.)

What your friend has is an H-100. It was made between 1965 and 1974. I wouldnt pay more than $500 for it, 


If you look closely you can see the four pedal drawbars in the middle
