If you haven't been around a Genuine Hammond B3 much then how could you be expected to know what they look like? You can't and the crooks are counting on this. Please submit any photos you have of a counterfeit B3 that you have or know of so we can post them to help the public awareness of this latest fraud. A Counterfeit B3 is no bargain at any price and has little to no resale value compared to a Genuine B3. Watch for folks dodging the question 'Is this a Genuine B3?' with misleading answers.

It is not criminal to sell one of these counterfeits provided it is disclosed that it is not, in fact, a Genuine B3 organ but an organ put together from parts or some other way distinguished. Getting your money back from slysters that do this is nearly impossible. Preferably contact us BEFORE you buy to avoid any problems. Some counterfeits are better than others, but we know what to look for. If in doubt, send us email and photos of the inside and outside of the cabinetry and we will help you determine this.

If you have fallen victim to the purchase of an undisclosed counterfeit B3, contact the state Attorney General office in the state the dealer is doing business in. The value of a Counterfeit B3 is VERY LOW in the $1000-2000 range and when you go to sell it you will find out in a hurry that you have a counterfeit on your hands.

COULD YOU TELL?Īs Members of the Better Business Bureau we cannot condone this. The organ on the LEFT is a counterfeit, and the one on the right is a Genuine Vintage Hammond B3 and the one below the other two is also a counterfeit. We've personally examined many counterfeit B3's lately with customers finding out after the fact that they purchased a counterfeit B3 while being told it was a genuine B3 and paying Genuine B3 prices. Many retail and online companies are now selling flat out counterfeit B3 Hammond organs as Genuine B3 Organs for Genuine B3 prices. NOTICE: Beware of COUNTERFEIT VINTAGE HAMMOND B3 ORGANS OR
