Mint Hammond B3 Organ + Leslie 122RV Reverb Speaker - $5,600 (Excelsior Springs)
QR Code Link to This Post
Highly desirable professional/studio quality Hammond B3 Organ in near mint condition for sale. This is the instrument used by bands like Boston for their organ-heavy tunes, as well as churches and professional music studios the world over. If you need professional sounding organ music, this is the cream of the crop, and there are no substitutes. Rare find due to such long-term single ownership, who happened to be my mom who was a professional piano/organ teacher who trained for many years under well-known performer, instructor, and Hammond B3 expert Lloyd Bartlett. Sat in same place its entire 43 years she owned it, and she was its only player, thus why it is in such great condition.
Plays beautifully, and the Leslie 122RV "reverb" speaker sounds amazing. All vacuum tubes light up and work as designed. Recently brought out of a long slumber, oiled it up, and she fired right up and sounds like a right and proper B3 should. Included are full set of base pedals and volume pedal in working order, original mahogany bench with storage, music stand, connecting cables, owners manual, receipt showing Mom's purchase in 1982, extra oil, etc. These are for sale from $4000 to $16000 depending on condition. This one is probably in the top 5% of cleanest, most well-kept pieces, but due to various logistical factors, we've priced this one to sell fast at $5990 OBO so the next user can enjoy a great instrument at a great price esp given the condition.
A short demonstration video of it being played can be seen here:

I live in the Kansas City, MO area, but organ is located in DeSoto, MO, which is about 30 miles south of St. Louis. May be open to delivering in the KC area under the right terms.
My number is listed above. Call with any questions or concerns and I'll do the best I can to provide half-way intelligent answers.
