HARMONIC DRAWBARS
Your Hammond Organ has 4 sets of nine Drawbars, two for each manual. Drawbars, often called
Tonebars, are the heart and the basis of the renowned Hammond Sound and have been used since
the first Hammond Organ Model A introduced in 1935.
There are approximately 253,000,000 possible sound combinations that can be produced by these
Drawbars. Each Drawbar consists of sine waves of different pitches (which means tone depth).
The illustration below shows how each Drawbar relates to the manual when middle "C" is pressed.
Each Drawbar is marked with a number followed by a footage mark. For example, the first white
Drawbar is marked "8'.” This is pipe organ terminology indicating that the pipe used to produce the
lowest note on the keyboard on a pipe organ is actually eight feet long. The numbers from "1" to "8"
on each Drawbar represent degrees of loudness - number 1 being the softest, and number 8 being
the loudest.
