Played like a Hammond pro! Love the sound of your B3! Your’s sounds like one of my 1955 B3’’s.
I’m 65, have owned & traveled with several Hammonds and arsenal’s of Leslies over the years. Of all the demos I’ve listened to on TH-cam, your Hammond sounds the BEST!
I’m also a retired engr, & have completely disassembled & repaired Hammond’s since the 60’s. I know them inside & out.
Read some negative comments posted below. Guys, you’re being too picky.
6:40 Jim Transforms into a wizard. Holy moly! This whole video has been a treat. New favorite from the Keyboard Exchange crew.

Jim, this video is an excellent tutorial on the function of the drawbars in playing the Hammond Organ. Without this knowledge anyone new to the Hammond Organ can be totally intimidated.
Oh Jimmy you always so amazing Good bless you
Thank you for your kind words! We are making more videos all the time so please stay tuned and if you already subscribed please do so that you will be notifed each time we release a new video which is now two times a week and always on Friday afternoons. Let us know what you want to see and hear in your comments and we will appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you so much! I've finally understood what the second set of drawbars is for, I couldn't find the answer anywhere. Great video!
This video was exactly what I was looking for and I feel like I really know my way around a B3 now, Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I've ALWAYS wondered how these organs work. Thank you!
Thanks for the vid. You nailed exactly what I was looking for. As a "Non-Hammond" player that only knows workstations with "Clones", I saw pictures of B3s with all these "Extra" drawbars and was confused. Now I get it!
Jim, this is a GREAT introduction and helped sort me out on some basic stuff I never properly learned. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your kind words ! I can tell you that this instrument will make
any keyboard player sound better. The organ sounds great just playing a few chords and that is the magic of a Hammond B3 !
Jim Huss YOU A BEAST AND BAD IN A GOOD WAY I'M 10 AND I'M LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THE HAMMOND B3
My god, killer playing and tones. I never knew how difficult it could be to nail down a tone! I see why players back in the day would slam their draw bars in after a set
Thankyou for a fascinating video - the sounds are so evocative - I'm in awe of your knowledge and even more so of the designers.
In a comment below I mentioned that we make our videos spontaneously which is often still true. We have recently started to develop our ability to do some editing which we hope will make our videos easier to follow, more to the point, and perhaps more enjoyable. We are now exploring the possibility of teaming up with some new friends who will comment on video about our restored Hammond organs without the need to come to our store. We know that Zoom may help us to gather comments and opinions much like we now see on the evening news and allow us to connect with a greater number of Hammond enthusiasts........Suggestions for enhanced connectivity will be appreciated
Listen to “Maze” by the band Phish. The beginning of the song is a demonstration of just the percussion being used (he just plays a single note repeatedly).
Jim Huss is obviously quite the consummate keyboard artist in his own right.
Thank you for your kind words Stanley. I meet some amazingly talented musicians in through our business Keyboard Exchange International, so whenever possible I let them do the playing. The Hammond B3 can do most of the work and make an average player sound GREAT! More details at www.keyboardexchange.com
Fabulous Legendary great HAMMOND World specialist in the USA. Here HAMMOND organs are perfect, like new.
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you will enjoy some or ALL of our other videos!
Great job Jim! Love your vids!
Please read the comment of Mr Muzic where he has made some great suggestions regarding terminology! My thanks! AND it goes to show that we can all learn from each other. I especially appreciate the manner in which he made his comments with the intent to assist, help and enhance the message. Constructive suggestions like his are always welcome and appreciated. Sorry it took so long to reply and notice the comment but now that I have, I will try harder. It should be noted that we make these videos spontaneously and without editing so we know that mistakes may occur. The more comments the better so we can all improve. Again, Thank you for all your comments with the intent to be helpful.
I've seen a few of your videos and wondered if you could play or just sell.
What a pleasant surprise to hear your skill!
Also to have questions answered I had since childhood. A neighbor, a Lutheran pastor, had a B3 in his home. I used to marvel at its sound. Now I know some of the controls!
Thank you for your kind words. I have played for most of my life but in business I meet so many great musicians that I would rather have them play than listen to myself. I believe this opinion is shared by many of our viewers! Ha! So....we are always on the look out for great talent to really show off the full potential of the instruments. I still love to play and have learned that there is always someone from whom you can learn and others you can mentor. Clint Eastwood said it best in one of his movies " A man needs to know his limitations" I so appreciate the many talented musicians that visit our store! I also like to teach and encourage beginners. Have a DVD titled "JIm Huss Frozen Finger method" which I put together to help beginners get started. Some tell me it really helps them. More information at www.keyboardexchange.com
Lovely lesson. Learned many things. Thanks so much for sharing.
Incredible amazing sound, and so, very good player !
Awesome stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it

So cool to have run across this video.
Thank you for your comment! I hope you enjoy learning to play music! If you want or need a Hammond organ, please find us at www.keyboardexchange.com
@KeyboardExchange I honestly feel these videos are legendary...will keep coming back for more and more I formation....I am curious......by chance what does a Hammond B3 cost these days, is there a common starting price point. In my mind, I am thinking 30 to 40 thousand. Will visit your website...
I love the intro tune :)
Love the Hammond Black B3.
+P.J. WEBB Keyboard Exchange is just finishing up another Ebony B3 that will soon be available! ZERO down for churches with low monthly payments! Interested? Do you play for your church?
+Jim Huss how much monthly payment, I play in the church
Thank you for the help.
most excellent -
I don't really play the organ, but I hopefully I will start this year at my church. When I was playing the organ I was using the Draw Bars, but I also was using the b flat preset for the upper and lower manual. It didn't sound right. I don't know why, and I was using the draw bars for the pedals too. It was difficult for me to use It because It wasn't making the right sounds. Why?
+Alvin McCranie There are many factors that are required for a great sound with a Hammond and Leslie. The most important factor is to have the correct model organ and Leslie and it MUST be properly restored by an expect now that this equipment is about 50 years old and older. I would need more information from you to give you a better reply. Also remember that the B flat preset key only controls one group of drawbars
Thank you Jim...Im actually the organist now. Back then I dint know as much as I know now about the Hammond organ..I use cool draw bar settings, sounds, play the bass pedals....and just enjoy it..
Rick..Congratulations!! I love the organ. I'll chose it over any instrument. I love the pedals,sounds,loudness,etc. If you have a Facebook my name is Alvin McCranie Jr. We could be friends.
You need a hammer, you can push the switches and drawbars stronger with it.
I understand your suggestion that we should be more gentle with the instrument. The good news is that these organs are built so well they can handle a more aggressive playing style which is often used in Rock and Roll and Gospel music. I do agree that one can get too aggressive so point taken. Thanks for your comment
Sweet!
Thanks!
BTW: What kind of Leslie?
Am I correct that percussion only sounds when no other key is pressed? So when you play legato there is no percussion? I have a Nord Electro and that synth behaves in this way, I wonder if a B3 does the same, and why.
correct one key at a time. legato kills the percussion effect. always made that way due to............?
Thank youuuuuu
why dont you use the bass pedals instead of the left hand bass? a real organist MUST know how to use the bass pedals!
There is a reason why some do not use pedals for their bass lines which we explain in another video. Here is a link th-cam.com/video/gXMNBhhhsJs/w-d-xo.html Please let us know if you have additional input and thank you for comment.
Owen Wilson? lol
In the future,
Hence forth,
The Hammond B-3 Organ has two Manuals, (not keyboards) and a 25 key, Pedalboard.
Upper Manual, is called, "The SWELL Manual"
Lower Manual, is called, "The GREAT Manual"
You may want to use the exact technical terminology when explaining; such as "B natural"; "one keyboard=manual;" stops=drawbars; ---"this group of drawbars to the right of the Organ???" You Should Have Stated, "To The Right Of The Pedal Drawbars"!!!
Just a brief observation of your terminology of teaching skills...
Let's teach it technically correct!!!
Many thanks
Nobody cares and anyone with half a brain understands the colloquialisms
@Mr. MUZIC. Piss off! 😠
@Mrmuzic. Fuck off g!😎
Thank you for your input! If you ever get a chance to visit us at Keyboard Exchange International we will welcome your visit and perhaps we can make a video or two together. We are in Sanford, Florida
