I don't know most of what you've listed but do you want the B3 rather than the C3? The C3 is more of a console/church organ and the B is what all the rockers use. HeaVEEEEE so studio is a good place for it. You could also consider the M3 -- same percussion and drawbars as the B but a square-key and much smaller (read: you can move it if you want as long as you keep it upright...).

The 122 is a sweet piece though. Had one. Gigged with it (yes, the roadies hated me arr arr). Just be sure the amp and the switchgear in the leslie is in good shape as they can be somewhat cantankerous. Enjoy!

Ed, the C3s and B3s have the same internals, the only difference is the B3 cabinet and bench sit on posts, while the C3 has "modesty panels" on both the cabinet and the bench. (B3 on left, C3 on right)

I would definitely take a B3, but for some reason they seem to demand a bit of a premium over the C3, at least around here.

I've already lined up a local tech who can do all the repairs and maintenance when I find the rig I want. There's a pretty good underground of organ techs and parts here because of the gospel scene and the old Motown legacy.

We're converting the living room into a "conservatory"...along with the piano and the box drum setup above, we've got an electric bass, an acoustic guitar, and several wind instruments (various saxes, a trumpet, a flute). All of the seating in this room will be instrument seating (piano bench, organ bench, the box drum, a bar stool or two for guitarists, etc.).

One hairbrained idea I had was to use the central vac piping as conduit to pull a snake from the living room to my studio, which is set up in a room in our walkout basement.

Sounds nice. I'll have to stop by for a jam session next time I'm in the area.

Ed, you're always welcome at the garage or in the studio.

Cool stuff. Those box drums are pretty versatile considering their very reasonable cost. Should be fun!

Being around the homestead must have put the musical bug in your ear. I know it has for me. I'm working on expanding my knowledge and use of different tonalities. I can't wait to hear what you've got cookin'.

Cheers, Brian

Also, sound guys hate Hammonds with big Leslies. It's so much easier to give a synth a DI line than miking a Leslie.

And I say that as both a soundie and a muso!

God, music and Porsches, all in the same thread! My 3 favorite topics!

So, Danno, you planning to record conjunto or zydeco?

Those boxes sound very good, but I've found they often come with long-haired, unwashed hippies...well, they did at the last music fest Mand and I did... (Or was I the hippie that day?)

I agree about the B3. They're a PITA for use live but can't be beat in the studio. Run your guitar through the Leslie!

Hey, 924aussie - Mand's dad was an Anglican priest, and so was my grandfather, making us both PKs (those in the know will shake their heads and feel sorry for us), so we get it coming and going.

Evil and the Justice of God. Hmmm. Most in search of justice and fairness tend to forget there's another player involved and lay blame at the feet of the wrong being. And let's not forget our primary gift was freedom of choice.

Well, off to do some vocal warmups for my next student.

Cheers, all!
