    Re: Which Model Tonewheel Hammond do you Own?

    g3:
    My X-77 is a tonewheel organ, but it's not on your list. I was so sad! Neither is the X-66. Didn't it have one octave of tone wheels? G3

    The X-66 cannot really be considered a tone wheel model in the classic sense. The one octave tone wheel generator in the X-66 is divided down with electronic dividers. In fact, the original tone wheel pitches are not used in the audio. Only the divider outputs. The X-66 is more of a Theater organ in sound and voicing. The use of the top octave tone generator was so Hammond could say it never went out of tune, just like other Hammond models.
