Model E's are amazing Hammonds......
these are very rare Hammonds...32 note AGO pedalboard, and not too many made...I've seen only 5 or 6 EVER sold on ebay in 4 or 5 years now......
...note the duel expression shoes, the only Hammond to have the Swell and Great expressed separately.
As I understand it the typewriter keys work the same as the reversed colored keys that are the presets on a typical Hammond.
Some other hightlights:
Separate chorus tone generator for an ethereal celeste affect not possible on other Hammond models (D's, and BA's are the only other models that have this unique feature that I'm aware of).
I believe this model has separate piston presets for the pedals as well.
oh and the bottom octave for the 16' drawbar is not folded back..so it is ultra deep in tone....
to rephrase the classic Mozart quote a bit......."the model E is indeed the 'King' of all Hammonds".
