Subject:Do You Really want Clinics, Workshop and Gear Show. Still looking for input from you.

To the list members.

Is there really any interest in Clinics, Workshops and/or a Gear Show that would be all related to Drawbar Organs Vintage and Clone both?

So far I have only seen a couple of responses to my original post posing the question about Clinics and Workshops. While I realize that some of you maybe in shock (big smile) that someone would ask you if there is any interest I feel that there maybe many just sitting their not sure if they should say anything.

After reading the comments and experiences of many of the list members on the CW list about going into MI music stores and trying gear, I am trying to get an idea from any of you what you would like in regards to finding a way to bring something together so that more people can experience and try products in an environment that would be drawbar organ and gear friendly.

Since I do realize that there are other manufactures the lurk on these, and other lists, here is a chance for any of you to state what you would like from them and/or Diversi.

Something they do in Italy is called the Hammond Social Club. It is something to see, Joey as well as other pros have been going over there to be involved in these two and three day events. It is fantastic to see so many people that just get together and do things drawbar organ and related drawbar organ gear; ie speakers and such.

In my own experience I am involved with a big Gospel music convention ever year and the amount of organ players that are hungry for knowledge and then how they show and share with each other is pretty amazing.

The sound of a Hammond organ crosses so many musical styles and evokes more emotion, my personal feeling, then any other musical instrument but there but there is one thing for sure it's loved. But hated to be moved by the other band members when it's a B3 and a 122 or two. (grin)

While I realize that the US is a big country and logistics as well as cost are a problem there still maybe something that can be done. However it takes your input, suggestions and your voice to be heard.

If you have a suggestion or ideas now would be a great time to speak up.

Respectfully,
