Legend Organs
For the past 25 years, NW Piano Gallery has been exclusively a Hammond-brand-only dealer, having chosen not to carry any of the so-called Hammond clones. Why? They simply did not sound all that good. With the redesign of the Viscount KeyB by its parent company in Italy, however, all that has changed. We now see these instruments by Viscount as viable alternatives, filling a price point void that we otherwise would not be able to service.
Since 1935, when Laurens Hammond invented the first tone-wheel organ, the sound of this instruments entered the soul of many musicians and was loved from everybody. Unfortunately the tone-wheel organs production terminated on 1975 leaving an emptiness poorly compensated by many imitations. Viscount and KeyB combined their strong experience in order to fill this emptiness by designing the new Legend organs able to perfectly recreate the sound of tone-wheel organs and offer again the “VINTAGE FEELING”.
We offer a wide range of Legend organ models including the special JdF (Joey DeFrancesco) Signature Edition series.

Easy to Play
When you sit down at the Legend Classic, all you have to do is turn it on and play. Everything you need and are familiar with, on a classic tonewheel organ, is there right where it belongs. No confusing menus or LCD screens full of features that you most likely don’t or won’t use. After all, it’s an organ.
Full Set of Drawbars
If you have been playing a classic tonewheel organ, then you will feel at home with the Legend. It has two full sets of 9 drawbars for the upper keyboard, two full sets of 9 drawbars for the lower keyboard and 2 pedal drawbars.
Harmonic Percussion
Located right where they belong are the rocker tabs to control the 2nd and 3rd harmonic percussion. Soft and normal percussion volume, fast and slow percussion attack.
Upper / Lower Realtime Controls
Legend Upper Manual Realtime Controls include: Volume; Reverb; Drive; Keyclick; Fine Tuning; Crosstalk; Tone Controls; Pedals Sustain; Percussion (Decay, Volume).
Legend Lower Manual Realtime Controls include: Reverb (Post/Pre, Hall/Spring); Drive (Classic, Rock); Tonewheel Model (’30, ’50, ’70); Transpose; Rotary (Direct, Classic/Rock); Hold (Int/Ext); Pedals (Direct, To Lower).
Volume (Soft/normal) Vibrato and Chorus
You can use vibrato/chorus independently for the upper and lower manuals or together. Use the familiar rotary control to select all three Vibrato and Chorus settings.
Waterfall Keyboards
Along with the best sound and being easy to play, the Legend has two heavy-duty 61-note keyboards with the feel of an organ, not a synthesizer or cheap portable keyboard. If you play pedals, then you can purchase the optional 25 full-sized console pedals. The Legend pedals are heavy-duty and are same radius as the classic tonewheel organs, which makes playing the pedals feel right.
2 Drawbars Presets Realtime Controls
Two “Black Octaves” (one for each manual) are available on Legend. You can change drawbars settings in realtime, like the original tonewheel organs.
Flexibility
Use the Legend or Legend Live with an 11-pin Leslie or use them with either a mono or stereo keyboard amplifier or sound reinforcement system. The Leslie simulation is truly remarkable so utilizing stereophonic amplification instead of a Leslie speaker is a viable option.
