Un article traitant du sujet du fameux BUZZ Hammond
Aging Creates Performance & Sound Degradation
However today in 2008 things have changed for these vintage instruments and most of these Hammond's and Leslie's are not as quite in shape as they used to be in their younger days. Of course due to components of aging, deterioration and degradation of the sound and performance has become the normal vintage Hammond and Leslie reality.
Despite the fact that they were built with extreme high quality standards many components had a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years, so even the last Hammond B3 from 1975 now need maintenance and restoration to get back in shape.
In fact some Hammonds and Leslie's just don't scream at all and are so dull and dark sounding that in most cases, it feels like you wrapped a carpet around the Leslie! Many of them lack punch and brilliance and are muffled sounding.
Some others lack a lot of bass too, not to mention all the audible "HUM" "BUZZ" and "POPS" which should be out of the picture but they are now associated with these antique instruments.
So what's left to enjoy? In many occasions a B-3 could be compared to an old '55 Cadillac! Both of them are classics but to keep them alive they require some love and tuning from their owners...
