Customers, percentages: churches vs. musicians

Odd italics

@Steue: What's the reason for the unusual formatting of "electronic"? GA-RT-22 (talk) 02:45, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To distinguish "electronic" from "electric"; as the article says.

Thanks, GA-RT-22, for asking and not reverting.

Comparisons to pipe organ and piano

The section Hammond organ #Keyboards and pedalboard compares the Hammond first and mainly to a piano. Although this comparison is of interest, it more or less also applies to a pipe organ. The Hammond should first be compared to a pipe organ, and only then to a piano.

John M Hanert link wrong

Hi all, the link to the article about John M. Hanert is wrong and leads to an article about an organ.

Thanks! TheNepomuk (talk) 19:58, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The link is John M. Hanert. This is a redirect to that part of the Chord organ article that discusses him. He doesn't (yet) have his own article. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article

To add to this article: a small section mentioning classical composers who have called for the Hammond organ in their compositions (they include Louis Andriessen and Karlheinz Stockhausen).
