Theres a Hammond M3 in my studio!

[@kris100990]

I bought an M3 that needed a ton of work on it. Stripped off all of the flaky finish and applied a nice hand wax to the beautiful wood. Did the poor man’s foldback on the upper manual and the lower manual foldback mod for lower bass tones. It’s a really special instrument and I can see why they were called the “Baby B3”. It oozes mojo and I try to play it every day.

Cheers Nick. Enjoy what you do. J

I have a 65 M102 ( originally from a BBC studio). It is now resting in my old hen house, waiting for a restoration one day. Worked well through my 147, and often suited me better between two loud guitars, as it sound a little bit thinner then my A100, and wanted to stick through. But the M3 have the keys I prefer.

[@valleywoodstudio7345]

Nice! I've had a lovely old M100 and Leslie 145 in my studio for nearly 20 years and it does great as a recording organ and gets used all the time - except the keys are a little brittle with age!

[@nickfoleyuk]

Wonderful !

[@MrKersey]

Thanks for the video! My first Hamnond was also a 1958 M3, which was paired with Leslie 147. Although it had an overall nice sound, I always found the lack of lower octaves and no foldback made it sound a bit thin.

I also have 1958 m3

Thanks for sharing this beauty ! 😊

[@MarkJolyon]

Great film Nick!

[@nickfoleyuk]

Thank you

[@MarkJolyon]

Just to say, I’ve recently bought an M102 factory split. But I also have an M100. Unfortunately there’s not enough space for two! So I’m going to donate the M100 for free for someone who can appreciate her; any suggestions Nick? Best Mark

[@nickfoleyuk]

@@MarkJolyon Me obviously lol Where are you based?

[@MarkJolyon]

Hi Nick, Near Guildford Surrey. The M100 is in my apartment so two pairs of strong arms! It’s a beautiful sound and needs a loving home. It’s the one my profile pic…

[@nicklisac4667]

So speed bumps are useful after all. 🤭 It's a spinet but it looks enormous for some reason or have you been standing in the rain🌧️❓ It's a beautiful looking thing. Born same year as me. The best things were made in 1958.🤣👍

[@georgebarabas]

Very nice!

[@slaymakerc]

Did someone do a foldback on this? Or just the scanner? Got amazing tone. That's with no Leslie? wow

[@nickfoleyuk]

Just the scanner

[@MarkJolyon]

Love it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@nickfoleyuk]

Lovely isn't it

[@ernstuzhansky]

Magestic sound.

[@nickfoleyuk]

Isn't it?!

[@jsflyeagles5004]

Just used my m3 for green onions booker t @ mgs had to find right combination for drawbar settings

[@Davidjzmusic]

Nice Video! I have read that this M3 has less Drawbars compared with a B3 or C3 that is correct?

[@nickfoleyuk]

That is correct

[@jasonsenator6144]

I think mine is an early model, I think I looked it up once, and it was a 55-58 model, but no Leslie

[@nickfoleyuk]

beautiful

[@jsflyeagles5004]
