    Omg… this brought back so many memories as a kid… my grandma was/is a Deaconess and as a result my brother and I were at church before church and after a lot. Plus my mom was in the choir. I know the minister of music used to be bout ready to straight cuss every Sunday when getting ready for church because my brother and I would have touched, pulled, clicked, slid, opened, closed, every single button, slide or valve on that thing before Sunday came. The best part was when we learned to actually turn it on by accident and str8 mimicked the person who played the organ the most… this was it right here, but times 10 with my brother and I double teaming the keys at the same time! 😂😂😂

      @@Jewelzbabiii The Hammond Organ (the instrument in the video) is an electronic instrument. It doesn’t have that rich organ sound that acoustic organs have, which is what makes the instrument so appealing. Don Leslie decided that there were some improvements to be made, so in 1941, he released the Leslie switch. The switch consists of two rotating speakers (high and low frequencies) which help “throw” sound around the room (the Doppler effect). It adds body to the sound (think of it as almost sounding more 3D).
      Without a Leslie, the Hammond would sound dull and boring. This is why a musician will turn it on and off while playing. It adds more variance so that you won’t get sick of hearing the same frequency throughout the whole performance.
