Middle “C”
e 9 Drawbars on this keyboard are used to create the basic “Hammond” sounds.
Each Drawbar is marked with the register numbers 1 - 8 along the flat part of the
Drawbar. If you push back a Drawbar until you cannot see any number at all, the
sound of the Drawbar is not heard. If you pull it out to the fullest position the sound
level is maximum.
When recalling a patch, the drawbars’ “positions” will change internally, but not
physically. However, if you move a drawbar, the setting will “snap” to that drawbars
current position.
e pitch of each Drawbar is as shown above, when the middle C is depressed. e
footage marked (´) on the handle end of each Drawbar is derived from the corre-
sponding length of pipes of a pipe organ.
e numbers 1 - 8 on the “bar” portion of each Drawbar indicate the volume of the
sound to be produced as well as the guide to remember Drawbar settings.
Pull the fundamental (8´), the third harmonic (2⅔´) plus the fifth harmonic (1⁄´)
Drawbars out completely and play the keyboard. Notice how the sound resembles
a clarinet.
If you push the 8´ Drawbar half-way, you’ll notice the sound becomes more high-
pitched and a bit “harder”. Now pull the 8´ Drawbar back out fully and push the
2⅔´ and 1⁄´ in halfway. Notice how the sound becomes mellower.
Experiment with the Drawbars to obtain your own personal favorite sounds.

DRAWBARS (ON TONE-WHEEL)
In the case of the Tone-Wheel Organ, refer the correspondence
between each bar and the footage to the “TW” row in front of
the Drawbars.
