[HAM] Red Mahogony B-3

[Dave Bishop]

I thought someone else would respond to your inquiry.  Red Mahogony isn't a 
standard B3 color, but it was available as a special order, along with Brown 
mahogony.  I'm guessing that you're thinking the case might be a fake.  You 
can check that by looking for trim around the bottom sides of the main part 
of the case, B3 style fluting on the legs, a color mismatch with the 
overspray on the inside of the case, etc.  On many BV and earlier cases the 
fallboard is concave rather than rectangular in cross section.  On the A100 
series there is often an "A100" and color designation written on the bare 
wood of the pedal clavier-- on the face that inserts into the pedal 
switches.  If your organ is a swap, the clavier might give it away.  But my 
first inclination is that its a special order color.  If you want to post 
some pictures, I'm sure the list can tell you whether you have a fake.
