Hi
When we're on holiday near Lancaster we often go to a village Congregational Churcch - ended up playing for the service yesterday - on a Hammond L100. Still working 100% & in regular use. There are a couple of pictures on my Facebook pahe https://www.facebook.com/tony.newnham.16 No video though - it was too noisy after the service!

Every Blessing

Tony

Hello Tony,
It was a very popular organ in it's day with pop/rock bands. It is the model most of my musician friends played.

Had a L100 once upon a time.
Would have preferred the M100 though.

Definitely no CELESTE on the L100 but it was on the M100 with an excellent vibrato scanner.
You all have mentioned using a Leslie speaker. This certainly made a difference against the
standard L100 electronic vibrato.

Hi

The L100 has Vibrato in 2 strengths plus "Vibrato Chorus", which is just enough to add a bit of life to thesound without the vibrato being obvious - very useful for traditional hymns, and for one of the songs that I had to sight-read which was in Celtic style.

Every Blessing

Tony
