HAMMOND VINTAGE RESTORATION
BlackHAMMOND has been restoring vintage Hammond organs since 1990.
Over the past two decades, we have evolved into an establishment that is known for its innovations with retrofit and redesign of vintage models. Our company is not highly interested in original condition museum pieces, but rather breathing 21st-century life back into the aged instruments. In most of our restoration projects, the addition of many modern, practical features can be found. We remain true to the genuine nature of vintage HAMMOND organs, but we are not afraid to present them for the 21st century. All the labor that goes into our units cannot be included in this list, but consider the following as a brief overview:
