FAR OUT 

Sunn ever make a keyboard? 


Quote from mc2 regarding if Sunn ever mande any keyboards; "Sort of.....SUNN retrofitted a few Hammond organs circa 1965-66. They beefed them up and made they more portable and covered them in SUNN black tolex...paired them with a beefed up Leslie cabinet and SUNN amp head. I've seen them with both an early top controlSUNN head and also an early 7 knob front control head.

I had heard that it was done without prior OK of Hammond and Hammond said to stop...because the SUNN badges were screwed to the front of the Hammond and Leslie.

If you look carefully at the front of the 1966 catalog....the band is playing one of them! "

Conrad......any truth to this??
