 Hammond B3 Organ Emergency Repair: "Dr." Dave Vumback Goff Professional To The Rescue!
Friday, July 31, 2009 (6:44 AM)
3rd generation expert Hammond Organ Repair Man "Dr." Dave Vumback of Goff Professional Organ service and sales to the rescue the other night! He is one of the few people anywhere who is qualified to do this type of repair on my 1959 Hammond B3 Organ here in Times Square NYC *see photos, "Dr." Dave about to apply some serious heat to the B3: The organ is smokin' now through my Bill Beer Keyboard Products 'Super Nuclear Powered Leslie Speaker', dangerous set up. Goff has done the organ rigs of all the top touring acts in the Business. I was flattered that Dave said I have one of the best organ rigs he's ever heard. I'm back in business now thanks to "Dr." Dave Vumback and Goff Professional. My highest 5+ stars recommendation for Hammond organ and Leslie Speaker service and sales in Newington CT http://www.goffprof.com/ Sincerely, Jon Hammond *Member AFM Local 802, Local 6 / ASCAP © www.HammondCast.com Bob Cunningham, Bass, Bernard Purdie, Jon Hammond, Local 802, Musicians Union, NDR Jazz, Late Rent, Mikell's, Jazz Foundation of America, Elmar Lemes, ASCAP Network, B3 organ, XK-3c, Blues, Funky, Rhonda Hamilton, WBGO ASCAP Network Behind The Beat with Jon Hammond "LATE RENT" Elmar Lemes photo of Jon Hammond playing XK-3 organ at Local 802 Monday Night Jazz Session sponsored by Jazz Foundation of America Jon Hammond MySpace HammondCast ASCAP Network Behind The Beat "NDR SESSIONS Projekt" Jon Hammond is an endorsed artist of Hammond Suzuki USA Al Goff, B3 Organ, Bill Beer, Dave Vumback, Goff Professional, Hammond Organ, HammondCast, Jon Hammond, Keyboard Products, KYOURADIO, XK-3c, XK-1, XB-2, Suzuki
