Hey there - great page! Just a note - under section 'C' Rob Collins of The Charlatans lived from 1963-1996 and played a Hammond C-3 from 1989 to 1996 in the band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.226.255.205 ( talk) 00:15, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
I removed DePiro from the list yesterday on the grounds of not being reliably sourced and unable to find a good source that states a strong association with the Hammond, but was reverted by A&RBoss ( talk · contribs). The problem with the content is:
I can't in good conscience keep this edit as it violates Wikipedia's key policies of neutral point of view and verifiability, so I have no choice but to revert it. Sorry. If you want to re-add it, you will need to supply a good source, such as a page in Jazz Times or some other widely distributed music magazine. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 07:50, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
I don't agree at all with your decision BUT what I do agree with is that you might not consider the sources "reliable" however, IF you are a Hammond Organ expert, (I was a Vice president for Hammond Organ Company in the 1980's and worked with DePiro personally when he was a youngster, you would know how "truly Hammond" he is and was. Hammond was no longer really "Hammond" after we sold to Suzuki yet some artists are cited who ONLY played Suzuki Hammonds and should you look at "Sporting Organs" you would see that DePiro was a well known Stadium Organist and notable just on that front and I supplied the Concorde he played. Kruger Bass (fyi) was the aftermarket bass pedal system used on A-100's and B-3's for artists that actually kicked bass, which as you probably know, many did not. EVERYONE that played Hammond professionally in the 70's and 80's knows this or at least should! It cost $1180.00 to install and was why many did not have it added to their Organs. When DePiro played Organ on Michael McDonalds "No Lookin Back Album in 85, he played a B-3. I know because I ok'd the organ for the Album from our warehouse. Any baseball fan would know who the Cleveland Indians are because they have been a Major League team for around 100 years as have the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox etc. There have been only 11 Major League organists that have played Hammond Organ in the History of the Major Leagues, and DePiro was one of them. How do we pay justice to this musician when many of the other names on this list don't even come close to DePiro and his allegiance to Hammond? Nick Orlando hired DePiro to the Technics Organist Artist staff after Jimmy Smith recommended DePiro personally for the job! I know this because I had Jimmy Smith under contract with Hammond at the time and he called me personally to boast DePiro's abilities. So, let's PLEASE find a way to fix this yes? Thank you for your consideration. By the way, are you a B-3 player ? I would love to know your recordings. I always love listening to new recordings on the greatest organ ever made. ... Oh, and finally, DePiro premiered the Roland Organ (AT350) at NAMM and in Las Vegas for the National Organist finals as a Celebrity guest Artist (the Organ you mention as "clonewheels) just as Joey DeFrancesco did for Roland 7 years prior on the XK88 ALSO by personal request of Roland founder Mr. K (Kakehashi- Founder) because Mr. K wanted an authentic B-3 player to premier his new Organ product.

An online source for Ford's involvement: here, says this:
So a figure in the early history of the company, certainly, but does that existing source (Vail, 2002) say that Ford actually did play it, ever? Ford is really not well known for his Hammond organ playing. The word "organ" doesn't appear in his article, let alone "Hammond". So I think maybe he should be removed from this list. Martinevans123 ( talk) 10:39, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
He's better known for playing the Vox Continental and Gibson G-101, but Ray Manzarek of The Doors is credited with the C-3 in Morrison Hotel#Personnel and L.A. Woman#Personnel. Why isn't he listed here?-- 71.200.109.79 ( talk) 14:07, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
It seems that Vic Cooper of Johnny Kidd & the Pirates is not notable in his own right. But Robin E. Hill (2012), in his biography of drummer John Kerrison, describes the Hammond C3 as being "part of the The Pirate's music style": [2] Martinevans123 ( talk) 15:03, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
There have been one or more new entries of Grace Potter without a reliable source. I've seen Potter play the B-3 many times (it appears to be one of her main instruments) and I don't know if this is a reliable source, but http://www.keyboardmag.com/artists/1236/grace-potter-and-the-deadly-hammond/28296 does mention her use of this instrument and says that she puts it "front and center onstage".-- Kevjgav ( talk) 20:04, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
I found another source http://mmusicmag.com/m/2012/06/grace-potter/ that mentions Potter's use of the B-3. However, I still don't know how reliable it is. I'm well aware that what may seem like a reliable source in the conventional sense, isn't necessarily reliable by Wikipedia standards.-- Kevjgav ( talk) 21:48, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

He's played with the Wallflowers and the Foo Fighters and also as a session musician. In his article, the B-3 is at the top of the "notable instruments" list in the infobox, and (not to change the subject) he's also credited with other electric and electronic organs such as the Farfisa, Vox Continental and Optigan on his selected discography. But apparently, he's best known for the playing the B-3, so why isn't he listed here?-- 71.200.110.156 ( talk) 19:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
In his article, it says that his instrumental, The Happy Organ was the first hit to feature the electric organ as a lead instrument. Furthermore, in the Happy Organ article, it says that the song's melody was played on a B-3. Given that he ostensibly made a milestone with "The Happy Organ" by popularizing the organ outside the jazz field, why isn't he listed here? I also noticed that there's no mention of "Hammond" in his article, but the song's article mentions B-3 as the instrument he used to record that instrumental. Maybe it's because there are no sources to support that claim?-- 73.172.36.126 ( talk) 23:12, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

His article article does indeed say " Hammond" (that he's noted for "his high tone on the Hammond B3 organ"), and I see that this claim is sourced. He looks like a very strong candidate. Why isn't he listed here? Maybe the given source isn't a reliable source?-- 2601:153:901:60C0:4030:5257:78E8:CB2E ( talk) 02:39, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
