Drawbar Fold Back
There are two function selections to the Drawbar Fold Back Advanced Feature Menu of the organ:
(1) Select how low the 16' Drawbar will play on each manual. (2) Set the upper frequency limit for
each manual.
On the earliest model Hammond Organs, such as the original models A, B and C, the 16' Drawbar
would continue to play all the way down to the lowest C (1C). Newer models such as the
Hammond Models X-66, X-77, Concorde, and SX and CX Series do the same, however, the 1'
Drawbar continues to play up the manual to the next to the highest C (5C) on the manual. The
other higher-pitched Drawbars perform similarly. The default settings for both the 16' and 1' foot
Drawbars will replicate the original B-3, C-3, RT-3 or A-100.
On a B-3, the lowest note produced by the 16' Drawbar is the 2nd C (2C) from the left end of the
manual. The lowest octave on the manual, from the 1st B (1B) down to the lowest C (1C) repeats
the same octave as the one above it, or "Folds Back.” The highest note that can be played by the 1'
Drawbar is the 4th F< from the left end of the manual. The higher keys on the manual also "Fold
Back", in that they repeat the pitches played by lower notes.
