This is quite noticable thru headphones. Not so much through the (L model) organ speakers.</P>
When the highest C octave is played SLOWLYyou hear this faint undertone. Can only describe it as sine-wavish, sci-fi spacey.</P>
For those that are familiar with Bo Hansson's"Lord of the Rings" lp, the second track "The Old Forest" has some of this sound. Wallace used to think it a clever spooky sound effect (to mimick wolves howling in the far distance), but perhaps this is inherent in the Hammond??</P>

Sounds like it is crosstalk.... if so... allot of the modern clonewheel organ actually try to mimick that sound. It is caused by the electro-magnetc interplay between the Tonegenerator wires....
Actually, I was really bugged by this too, until I realised it wasn't something wrong. The C3 through the PR40 doesn't sound like that, whilemy T500 through full range frankenleslie has it very noticeable. It clashes a bit when you play a chord in the top octave too,have you noticed that?
