Hardbopjazz Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 My 7 year old daughter wants to learn to play the organ. Someone is selling this one for $60. Would this be good enough to learn on? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 That looks like a later model Hammond. No tonewheels. It won't sound like a B3, if that's what you're looking for. But if she just wants to learn how to play, that will work fine. I learned how to play on a Yamaha organ, so it's all good! Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the reply Jim. So any type of organ will do to start? That's good to know. Edited October 9, 2006 by Hardbopjazz Quote
Jazz Kat Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I have an organ just like that. I hate it. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks for the reply Jim. So any type of organ will do to start? That's good to know. Well, it really depends on what she wants to learn. Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks for the reply Jim. So any type of organ will do to start? That's good to know. Well, it really depends on what she wants to learn. Yeah. What are her goals? Does she plan to lead the first generation of Organissimo tribute bands? Or does she want to replace Dr. Smith in LD's band? Quote

She want to learn the organ and piano, no idea what the long term goals will be. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Posted October 9, 2006 How old is she? She's 7. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Does she listen to Jimmy Smith, Larry Young, Joey D, and Tony Monaco records? Quote
