How to Buy Hammond Organ Oil in Bulk

Hammond organs were invented in the 1930s by clockmaker Laurens Hammond. The distinctive sound they make, often utilized by pop and rock 'n' roll bands, is made by a tonewheel generator. As the generator is primarily mechanical (containing around a hundred spinning disks, each of which makes a particular note), it needs to be oiled periodically with a specially formulated oil.

  1. Hammond Suzuki

    • The primary maker of Hammond Oil in the United States as of 2011 is Hammond Suzuki, based in Addison Illinois. The company supplies regional dealers across the nation and deals exclusively in bulk quantities.

    Local Dealers

    • You may also be able to arrange to buy bulk quantities from a local dealer. Go to the Hammond Suzuki website and use the dealer locator to find the closest dealer to you.

    Alternatives

    • Although Hammond Suzuki recommends using the official Hammond oil, some owners have effectively also used other light oils such as 3 in 1 which can be bought in bulk from major hardware suppliers.
