[HAM] Single louver horn compartment damping material?Kon Zissis kziss at ozemail.com.auWed Apr 4 05:20:02 CDT 2007
Hi Phil. The Rudy Van Gelder 1959 C3 is probably one of the most famous Hammonds in the world and for the Jazz / Blues lovers the sound of this 1959 C3 would be the gold standard by which all other Hammonds are judged by. I bet that many people on the various Hammond forums would absolutely love to see a measured TG output curve taken during the early 1960's when this C3 was used for many classic Jazz / Blues recordings. If I ever get to the United States and I am ever given permission to check out this 1959 C3 , I would measure the TG output curve and then put the data in my TG spreadsheet for all to see. After doing this then it might then be my turn to duck and run like hell because a few elitist purists who are offended that the "magic" of this 1959 C3 is now publicly revealed will want to grab me and slap my face and kick my backside :-). All the best.
