Setting Up
Modern Drawbar Registrations
Th e Drawbar registrations shown on the previous page are intended to simulate pipe
organ registrations since the original intent of the Hammond Organ was to provide a
lower-cost alternative to a church pipe organ.
As the Hammond Organ gradually achieved acceptance in other musical fi elds, such as
Pop, Jazz, Rock and Gospel, unique registrations became commonplace.

APPLICATION OF PERCUSSION
Normally when Percussion is used, the last
white Drawbar (1’) will be cancelled as it is on
a vintage organ. It is possible to override this
feature (P. 73 #8); however, many jazz and blues
organists leave the 1’ Drawbar out all the way
and turn the Percussion “on” an “off ” to make an
instant registration change.
