Hammond RT3 is exactly the same as B3 Hammond Organ with the addition of a tube bass pedal unit and 32 concave organ pedals instead of just 25 and flat
(serviced by Hammond Technician)
Suppose you’re after a vintage, tonewheel console organ with full pedal-range capacity and authentic, rich Hammond sound (and have a stationary space to house it). In that case, the RT‑3 is arguably the pinnacle model, even rarer and slightly more musically capable than a B‑3 they say..
Key Features
-
Two full-size manuals (61 waterfall keys each) with the full complement of drawbars, presets, vibrato/chorus, percussion – identical to the B‑3
-
32-note AGO-style concave-radiating pedalboard, plus a Pedal‑Solo Unit generating pitches from 32′ to 2′ – a major upgrade over the B‑3
-
All electromechanical tonewheel generator – fully analogue and polyphonic
Sound & Usage
Often described as nearly identical to a B‑3 in tone – the RT‑3 even earns “holy grail” status among organ enthusiasts for its full, rich sound
Regarded as ideal for sophisticated pedal work — particularly baroque/classical repertoire — thanks to the extended pedalboard and solo voice
Iconic use: a RT‑3 with Leslie was used at Abbey Road Studios during Rubber Soul sessions
