[@hank1519]

You are a wonderful musician!

[@geminidreamno2]

I absolutely love the sound of a B3 going through Leslie speakers. Can’t beat that sound.

[@Chris-jm4zk]

Yeah but damn heavy to play out with.

One of the most beautiful sounds in the whole wide world. A b3 with a leslie!!

So many memories of Jon Lord (RIP) with this sound .Thank you

This gentleman Eric Steckel Rock's 🤟🤟🗽🎵🎶🎵🎶🌞 ☮️ kevin

[@ericbgordon1575]

Not only does Eric totally play this organ like a mad dog, but it's a rare moment to spot a keyboard on the floor of Norman's Rare Guitars. The thing is even overdriven, only a plus!

[@stevetriantafillou1644]

this guy can play. once you hear a B3 you will never forget it

[@hank1519]

Fascinating how emotional a musical instrument the Hammond B3 organ is!

[@kevinmack9786]

Nothing beats the sound of a Leslie speaker, so much expression! Oh, the B3 helps too......

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Love that B3 sound! Always and forever amazing

[@specialbinson]

The inimitable mythical sound of the B3, the king of organs.

[@shop970]

How can something be so gutsy and reach a nerve that nothing else even comes close! Cry when that organ growls. Such a time period! Great show!

[@3cardmonty602]

That Hammond is unbelievable. Not played often enough nowadays. I’ve always loved bands back in the ‘60’s that incorporated keyboards into their bands. Betcha “Love and Happiness” great on it.

I love the sound of the B3 organ-nothing sounds like them.

I used to see those everywhere as young child back in the 60's and 70's. I was thinking of "Whither Shade of Pale." In honor of Gary Brooker of Procol Harum

[@ricksegal3065]

Nothing better than the sound of a B3. Can listen 24/7!

[@leecalvinmusic]

That is THE iconic rock organ!! Love watching Neal Doughty of REO Speedwagon play the hell out of a B3

[@mattrogers1946]

A marvel of acoustic and electronic engineering. I own an M102 that sounds amazing! Thanks for posting!

[@JeffDaytonMusic]

YEAH!! I can tell he's humble and wow, what a talent. Fave video from Norm's in a long time. I've got a '58 M-3 and 147 but there's nothing like a B. Thanks!

[@EMTdrummer]

Nice! Brought me back to the Doors of many years ago.

Thank you Eric and Jen, nice to see the B3 get some love!

[@jodysheridan604]

I wasn't looking at the description when I qued Norm's video, my first thought was Rick Wakeman when I saw him play with The Who in the late 70's. Thanks for a new artist.

Wow that is a beautiful sound!

Boom - Thanks Eric & Norman - awesome!

My appreciation for your work grows daily Eric! You are absolutely incredible and I would LOVE to see you sit in with Snarky Puppy and play, well, any instrument! Lol uh except the drums.

sweet lord, those chords were beautiful

[@williamknell864]

Nice. Organ of the day. I love guitar. But B3 and vibes, I'd love to have had access to either. But you just never saw them at tag sales, or the Milford Drive-In Frea Market.

I’ve never met Norm , but he seems like such a cool guy , very involved in the community and also showcasing talented musicians that might go under the radar. This guy here sounds bad ass and of course Lemmo is always great ! I also love it when Franks on there he also seems cool a.f. Anyway thanks for these vids !

[@markielinhart]

Fabulous❗️I’ve been a Hammond B3 and Leslie fan since I was at art school in the 1960s and heard my first Jimmy Smith record, never looked back‼️One thing that’s always intrigued me is that little switch to the left of the keyboard. Is it a control for the Leslie horn or something else? 🤔 Thanks again Norm and Eric✌️🌻🇺🇦

[@nathanbrown816]

It's the speed switch for the Leslie. In a Leslie speaker, there are 2 motors. a fast and a slow motor. When the switch is flicked to the right, it goes to its "fast" speed, which is both rotors going into high gear on the fast motor. When it's flicked to the left, it goes to the "slow" speed, which is both rotors on the slow setting. To control this, there's a relay in the Leslie amplifier that taps into the motor sockets. With that, the switch on a Leslie is on one of the pins of the multicore cable needed to connect it. IIRC, on a 147 pinout, the speed switch is on pins 2 and 3. Unsure on 122.

[@benallmark9671]

Near the end he hit a note and brought my mind immediately to Boston’s introduction of Its been such a long time Not even sure if that’s the title but they have had to using this same rig because the tones are identical. Great stuff , can anybody tell me a ballpark what the value on this rig is ? Just curious , I bet she ain’t cheap.

The title is "Foreplay/Longtime", great song

[@peterburi2727]

I was in a band years ago that had a very thin emaciated keyboard player. The guy was superb however the rest of the band had to carry his stuff around. Even chopped that B3 was heavy not to mention the leslie cab. But that thing sounded heavenly.

[@drummerhammar]

This should be played through a Marshall stack.

[@tommc49]

I don't know anything about playing a B3. What is he doing with his left hand when he reaches over to the edge? I don't hear any changes.

[@Bronco4x4]

He’s controlling the vibrato through changing the speed of the Leslie speaker. The top of the speaker has a rotating “tweeter” with two trumpet shaped outputs that rotate on an axle.; resembles a smaller tornado siren if you ever seen one. It’s rotation speed creates a Doppler effect and the faster the rotation, faster the vibrato and vice versa. Watch when he reaches over to the switch, sound speeds up or slows down. It’s a pretty simple concept but it sounds fantastic!

[@tommc49]

@@Bronco4x4 Thanks for the reply. I am familiar with the rotating speakers but did not know that was the control.
