Is there a History Book

[Guest]

On Hammond Organs? Most every musical instrumentout there has some sort of overview of the line through the years. What's the grail text on these things?

for the Hammond i recommend: "The Hammond Organ - Beauty in the B"


just glancing on Amazon.com the price is really high..I got mine on ebay for like 20 bucks i believe.....very interesting book, lots of history/photos although I seem to recall some on here say there are some errors, but overall I think a very nice Hammond book.

Should work for a general overview. Thanks!!

I found this biography of Laurens Hammond to have much more company history:</P>
