How about at a baseball game?
That`s right! They ARE installed in stadiums(Shay for instance), also in rollerskating rinks. When I was a teenager in the `60s, the competition said that about ALL Hammond organs; that because their sound was associated with the entertainment industry, they were UNFIT to be installed in a church. Our church recieved a giant new Conn organ with antiphonal electronic pipes and Leslies, in a custom installation. The Co. reps. came by to see what was wrong with it, and said "with reverence", that it was good that a Hammond hadn`t been installed instead. The Catholics know something about reverence; there`s an RT-3 with 6 PR-40s installed in St. Pauls at the Vatican that they use everyday. It`s all in the way the organ is played of course. The Xs, and the H-series organs are more theater oriented; however, running multiple Leslies with speed controled seperately, and with Hammond speakers while using the appropriate registrations, can produce a very convincing Gospel sound. With all the clones and new ways of re-inventing the Hammond around, it`s just a matter of time until the "other" models (re-invented by Hammond) come into their own. I would love to hear Dennis Montgomery III play "He Touched Me" on my X-66 with a model 12 and two Leslie 122s! Variety is the spice of life however, and with Hammonds there`ll always be plenty of that. As soon as you get one, you want to make changes....
