[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] What is "H-111"? -Reply
The H-xxx series of organs are mechanical tone generator consoles with the usual reverse colored key presets (2 sets). The percussion is arranged on a series of tabs labeled 'guitar', 'banjo', etc. rather than 2-nd & 3-rd harmonics like the A,s B's & C's. The vibratio scanner is stereo i.e. it has two outputs. There is pedal sustain built in. There is no internal Leslie. The H is most similar to the X-77 except for the animation (vibrato, etc.). The Hammond 10-12 tone cabinet is the companion to the H-xxx. Aside from the X-66 and X-77, this is the highest end home type organ Hammond made. There were a lot of problems with the vibrato scanners. Hammond made a 'retro-fit' repair kit consisting of a new vibratio scanner and motor to drive it that was mounted under the shelf containing the tone generator and completely replaced the vibrato scanner mounted on the end of the tone generator. One should check to see if this modification has been made befor considering obtaining this model. (However, I owned an H-111 and played it for years on a daily basis and never had any of the reported problems either with the vibrato or the pedal sustain. It was lost (sadly) in a fire.) >>> John L. Creed, III <sawdust@fay.infi.net> Wednesday, April 3, 1996 >>> Have found organ with flat full peddle board, organ has four drawbars for foot board.
