It may be hard to believe now, but one man was single-handedly responsible for creating the entire electronic organ and keyboard world as we know it today. That man was Laurens Hammond. By the time Laurens Hammond died on July 3, 1973, there were well over thirty manufacturers of electric or electronic organs.This figure would increase still further towards the end of the 1970s, as the demand for easy-play home organs grew to incredible proportions. Laurens Hammond had not just created a product, or even an entire industry. With his Model A tonewheel organ in 1934; he had created a legend. This legend lives on through Hammond’s continued determination to produce instruments that offer the very best in quality - Laurens may be no longer with us in body, but his spirit pervades every activity of the Hammond Suzuki Company today. Today Hammond represents a sound that transverses all styles and demographics, ranging from the comforting sounds of church all the way through to the latest slick R&B offerings you hear on the radio or television advertising. And the plain truth is, Hammond will keep on well into the next century! Bernies Music Land is proud to present Australia’s largest range of Hammond organs.
