Is the Hammond Organ Company still in business?
No! It is not. The original Hammond Organ Company went out of business in 1985. It is rumored that the company was sold to Hammond Suzuki, the company which is currently manufacturing keyboard organs and instruments under the Hammond name. That is not exactly the case. The only items sold by the original Hammond Organ Company were the “Hammond” name and the rights and patents which belonged to them. The name “Hammond” was sold to one of their international distributors, Mr. Noel Crabbe, located in Australia. There were no assets involved in the sale. Mr. Crabbe sold the name to Suzuki Corporation. Hammond Organ Suzuki USA is currently manufacturing Hammond Organ Products and Leslie Products.
