Note: The NSHOS was formerly a Hammond Organ club with monthly meetings. In the winter
of 2022, we disbanded the organ club mainly because covid restrictions had decimated our
monthly attendance, and we are now primarily a Hammond
organ service and repair outfit dedicated to the repair of Hammond organs and related
equipment and also the promotion of the traditional Hammond tone wheel instruments.

Organ models listed above and it is in need of repair, Contact us! We can

we do not service any of the newer LSI Hammond models, such as the Elegante,
Concorde and others of that type, and likewise, with the exception of those
listed above, we do not service any other brands of electronic organs or
modern keyboards either.
* NOTE: Hammond X66 organs are very complicated and very different from standard Hammonds.
in some instances an X66 repair may require many hours of diagnostic time, and if a repair is major, we may request that you ship the instrument to our location
in MA. This would also be necessary if the instrument is located outside of New England, (ME, MA, NH, VT, CT, or RI.)
In rare instances if there is sufficient damage, we may not attempt any repairs.
Also, if your Hammond has been considerably previously altered from its original
state and there is no documentation regarding these changes, we will need to figure out what the changes are and
how do they affect the instrument before attempting any repair work.
If sloppy or careless previous repair work has resulted in additional problems, we may decide not to attempt any repairs.
Likewise, we do not attempt any repairs if there is evidence of severe mice or other rodent damage in any instrument, which in some
instances can be a health hazard as well as the cause of major destruction of delicate electronic assemblies.
