Aeolian Hammond BA player organ with Hammond tone cabinet (1938) The is an, invented by and John M. Hanert and first manufactured in 1935. Various models were produced, which originally used to generate sound via, where component waveform ratios are mixed by sliding switches called and imitate the pipe organ's registers. Around 2 million Hammond organs have been manufactured, and it has been described as one of the most successful organs ever.

The organ is commonly used with, and associated with, the. Contents • • • • • Tonewheel organs [ ] Tonewheel organs generate sound by mechanical toothed wheels, that rotate in front of electromagnetic pickups. Each tonewheel assembly creates tones with low harmonic content, close to a sine wave. Inside the coil is a permanent magnet. As the teeth of the tonewheel pass by, the strength of the magnetism changes—when the tip of a tooth is closest to the tip of the magnet, the magnetism is strongest.

As the magnetism varies, that induces an alternating current (AC) in the coil, which becomes one of the frequencies used in harmonic synthesis. Image Model Name / Number Years produced Description. X-66 1967–1973 12-tone tonewheel generator with frequency divider and various additional features X-77 1968–1973 A restyled H-100, designed to replace the B-3. Had its own Leslie cabinet, the X-77L Two models in Church-styled cabinet were made under military specifications, and named G (G for 'Government contract', with chorus), and G-2 (with vibrato), to be installed in chapels and officer's messes of U.S. Army and Navy. Vacuum tube musical instruments [ ] Vacuum tube musical instruments mean generating sound with -based.

Hammond Organ Company commercialized it in the late-1930s as (1939–1942) and Solovox (1940–1948). Especially, new designs introduced on Novachord — and — were immediately followed by many manufacturers of and during the 1940s-1970s.

However, Hammond Organ Company did not adopt these on main products until the late-1960s, except for S series (1950–1966) and 'Solo Pedal Unit' on RT series and D-100 (1949–1969). Image Model Name / Number Years produced Description. Solovox (model J,K,L) 1940–1950 Monophonic attachment keyboard instrument, intended to accompany the pianos with lead voice of organ and orchestral sound. It consists of two units — a 3-octave mini keyboard attaching under the piano keyboard, and a tone cabinet including electronic sound generator, amplifier and loudspeaker. The sound generator is based on a vacuum tube oscillator and octave divider circuits originally designed for Novachord. There are three minor changed models: • Model J (1940–1946) • Model K (1946–1948) • Model L (1948–1950).

Solo Pedal Unit on RT series and D-100 1949–1969 Solo Pedal Unit (or Pedal Solo Unit) provides a monophonic bright bass sound on RT series and model D-100 consoles, layered with tradiotional polyphonic tonewheel pedal sound. Although Solo Pedal Unit is and it can play only one note at a time, the players can play polyphonic bass lines by the help of traditional pedal sound. The sound generator is electrically similar to Solovox Model L. It consists of a vacuum tube oscillator and five frequency divider circuits, controlled by a volume and 8-stop tablets (Bourdon 32', Bombarde 32', 16', 8', 4', 2' & 1', mute, pedal solo on) placed on the right side of lower manual.

Although there are five revisions of units, these are interchangeable on all RT series consoles. S series Chord Organ 1950–1966 First. Its ' easy to play' style initiated a new leading to today's market.

The S series Chord Organ can be played via following interfaces: • 37-note keyboard for solo or chords • 96-chord buttons (12-semitones × 8-chords variation) for chords • 2 wire touch-plates for strumming effect • 2 bass pedals for root & 5th • 1 expression pedal (or knee lever) for total volume control • 3 volume knobs for volume of each part (solo, chord, bass) Transistor organs [ ] Hammond started to produce transistor organs when the production of tonewheels became too expensive, switching to full-time Integrated Circuit (IC) models in 1975. Image Model Name / Number Years produced Description.

Cougar 1973–1976 Transistor spinet organ with drawbars, in some extent, corresponded to a kind of successor of L-100 series tonewheel spinet organ, although its new drawbars arrangement is slightly exotic; its upper manual has normal nine drawbars; on the other hand, lower manual has only two 8' drawbars with sawtooth. This anomalous design was only followed by a few models (8000 series, 8100 series, and 8200 Aurora series). Dolphin 1973–1976 Spinet organ with built-in and 20 one finger chords. J-100 1967–1968 (Late 1960s ) Transistor spinet organ - no tonewheels. • Reid, Gordon (November 2003)..
