BlackHAMMOND has been restoring vintage HAMMOND organs since 1998. Over the past two decades, we've evolved into an establishment that is known for it's innovations with retrofit and re-design of vintage models. Our company is not highly interested in original condition museum pieces, but rather breathing 21st-century life back into the aged instruments. In most of our restoration projects, the addition of many modern, practical features can be found. We remain true to the genuine nature of vintage HAMMOND organs but aren't afraid to present them ideal for the 21st century.
