The Instrument

The Hammond Sound

For Eddie Stone, the Hammond B3 is more than an instrument. It is a voice: warm, gritty, soulful, and powerful enough to carry a room.

Eddie bought his first Hammond B3 at 18, a serious investment for a young musician and the beginning of a lifelong relationship with the instrument. His playing brings together feel, restraint, fire, and the kind of command that comes from knowing how to make a B3 speak, breathe, and roar.
