ORGAN Voice Section
Jazz and Pop Drawbar Registrations
With Hammond Drawbars, any harmonic may be emphasized individually or eliminated completely. Even
the fundamental may be eliminated. Because of this fact, many unusual and striking effects can be
developed.
A POP ORGAN TONE - 80 0000 008
This is a very popular combination used by many pop organists. The effect of two harmonics five octaves
apart gives a beautiful tone color for playing slower songs or ballads.
A JAZZ ORGAN TONE - 88 8000 008
There are many Drawbar combination which are not imitative of any instrument, but which are
immediately recognized as "Hammond Sounds.” The basic Hammond Organ jazz sound is obtained with
the first three Drawbars, such as 88 8000 000. When the last white Drawbar is used along with the first
three Drawbars, a very pleasing effect is created. For playing slower songs, you can wish to try a little less
of the last white Drawbar - for example, 88 8000 005. The 8th harmonic will still be heard, but will not
be as prominent.
u Pedal Drawbars
The two brown Drawbars located between the Drawbars for the UPPER and LOWER Keyboards control the
sounds produced by the Pedals or Bass section. The first Pedal Drawbar produces a tone at 16' pitch for
a deep foundation bass, while the second Pedal Drawbar produces a tone at 8' pitch, or one octave higher.
