Chop Features

Chop ClosedChop
Our keyboards are completely refurbished. They are cleaned of years of dust and debris underneath, the up stop and down stop felts are replaced, and the keycombs are replaced if needed. The drawbars are also cleaned and brought back to like new condition.
We install the standard Leslie switching and also any other optional controls such as output controls, reverb controls etc. in the left hand cheek blocks for easy access and complete safety from damage while transporting.
Switching
This is a view of the inside of our standard chop. All chops are rebuilt with orange drop mylar recapped generators and line boxes. Scanners are rebuilt and bus bars are also removed, cleaned and relubed.
We use our own design and build to incorporate the use of the original Hammond variable swell capacitor for volume control. This retains the actual feel, tonal sound and response of the original Hammond organ sweller.
Volume Control
For the Hammond player who demands a full organ with bass pedals The Hammond Store will provide either a midi set or as most prefer, an original set of Hammond console bass pedals. Here is a look at the amount and the quality of work that goes into the generator and top connection part of the bass pedal wiring procedure.
Our bass pedals are done in silver high gloss and a hard finish to complement the looks of the total package. Our bass pedal contact boards are housed in a separate matching case that also hold the swell pedal at the standard Hammond height and placement. If pedals are not needed they simply can be left behind along with the contact board enclosure, and the swell pedal placed on the floor.
Bass Pedals
We are now offering custom padded benches that match our chop cases and design. These come apart for easy, space saving transport. They are available as an option when not ordering bass pedals or included with a chop that is ordered with bass pedals. A heel rest is built into the design for comfort when using the bench with or without bass pedals.
Custom Benchs
All AC and audio connections are neatly side mounted for safe transport and easy access when setting up and tearing down.

 

All of our custom chops come with A0-28 preamps that are rebuilt with new tubes installed, Unless of course a customer wants a solid state replacement. We will install the solid state preamp in place of the A0-28 if desired.
