The Harmonic Drawbar is a device for controlling the intensity of the harmonics. By varying the positions
of these Drawbars, an unbelievable number of different tones can be created. Thus, the player of a
Hammond Organ can "create" his own tones. Each harmonic is available in eight stages of intensity
(volume) plus "OFF", the eight numbers being marked on the Drawbars. These numbers are used to
record a tone quality so that the organist can duplicate, exactly, any tone which he desires to remember.
The reason for providing two groups instead of one for each manual is so that you can have several of your
favorite combinations ready and waiting for use.
Pulling a Drawbar out (toward you) will increase the volume in incremental
steps from 0 (no volume) to 8 (full volume). Pushing the Drawbar back in
(away from you) decreases the volume of that Drawbar.
