Thank you to the members of Blythe Baptist church who had the idea that they wanted a Hammond organ with Leslie to be as beautiful as their grand piano! Keyboard Exchange International was commissioned to create this custom finished high gloss ebony Hammond C3 with matching Leslie 122. This is one of the more beautiful stage arrangements that we have seen! Our compliments to the church members who imagined this arrangement!
Jim Huss of Keyboard Exchange International says "Thank you for your business Pastor Kim and members of the Good News Church! We wish you many years musical blessings from the B3 with Leslie that we shipped recently to your church in Korea" The pictured B3 arrived safely and is now being enjoyed.

KEI News
Certified Foam Free
Posted on April 15 2013
You will see "CERTIFIED FOAM FREE" in some of the descriptions of our instruments on our Inventory page. You will also see a label on the front of each organ that says "Certified Foam Free" and you may wonder,"what does this mean?"
During the last 9 years of factory B3 and C3 production, foam strips were substituted for felt in the keyboards as a dust inhibitor. However, over the years the cheaper foam can decompose and chemically react with the fine wires that carry the tonal frequencies from the keyboards to the preamp and then on to the Leslie. This does not always happen, but it CAN happen and this is VERY bad. A musician expects to hear all the notes and tones he is playing, not a percentage of the tones that should be heard. What is worse is that the problem only gets worse over time until the organ potentially becomes worthless without major repair and expense.
Keyboard Exchange International, having observed and recognized this issue, is making the effort to remove factory installed foam from each and every organ that we restore! The reason this is important to us and our customers both, is that the foam will
never be a future issue in organs purchased or restored by Keyboard Exchange International.
Organs from 1965 to 1974 do tend to sound brighter, crisper, and clearer due to factory refinements. A musician should not need to choose reliability over tonal preferences. Keyboard Exchange International has solved this problem! Consider this when you make a long term investment in a vintage Hammond organ and only buy an instrument that has been certified foam free by a reputable business.
For more technical references Google "Hammond+Foam" or contact Keyboard Exchange International for restoration and preventative maintenance quotes.

Jim Huss, president of Keyboard Exchange says, "Our team at Keyboard Exchange International
has recently received wonderful feed back from our customers and I would like to share these comments with our staff and potential customers. I would also add that we really appreciate these customers who took the time to write and let us know they were pleased with our efforts. The comments are a huge reward to us!
As president of Keyboard Exchange International I have to give the credit for these complements to members of the team we have developed over the years....technicians, craftsmen, musicians, professional movers and shipping companies.
We have shipped organs all over the world without any problems. I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation to my son, Rodney Huss, Vice President of Keyboard Exchange, for the tireless efforts he extends to help make all the pieces come together from pick up, restoration, packing for export when needed, and personal delivery to locations through out the USA. Regardless of your location,
Rodney will make sure your equipment arrives safely!"
Here are some direct quotes received within the last month.........
Oct 11, 2012 Hello Jim. We received the organ last night and I am still amazed by sound and appearance of both the organ and Leslie. I had a friend come to the service tonight who is also a player, and he, as well as the entire church, are very satisfied with the quality instrument we have purchased from you. Thank you for making purchase an easy one and helping us acquire such a fine organ......thanks again Chris.

Customer Testimonial
Posted on February 1 2012
Jim & Rodney: Thank you so much for the recent organ purchase experience. I feel fortunate to have discovered Keyboard Exchange International (KEI) in Sanford, FL, so close to home. I like the '1-stop shop' concept you offer (purchase, repair, restoration, service, upgrades, lifecycle support of all things organs & Leslie cabinets, organ lessons, advice, & friendship). I especially appreciate how cooperative & easy-going your 'just-right' salesmanship is. I never felt pressured or disregarded. I think that your business-model works well.
Organ Purchase Experience: You should know that I chose to buy from you primarily because KEI is a reputable, full-service organ source who stands behind the deal. When I looked at organs from various sources, the price range seemed inexplicably wide, with some examples of direct sales from individuals seeming 'too good to be true' when compared to the prices from established dealers. But when I thought through the scenario from a 'total ownership cost' perspective, I realized that going with KEI was actually the best bargain. You get what you pay for in life...

Customer Testimonial

Hi Jim,
I am writing to express not only my gratitude in my purchase from your company, but the excellent condition and sound of this B-3 and 22R Leslie speaker. It should be noted, that I live in the state of Pennsylvania. The entire transaction was done over the phone or via the internet. You sent pictures and made a video demo before we came to terms. You assured me that you tried all of your in-store inventory and this was the best sounding match you had. Your assessment was absolutely correct. I have owned several B-3's and Leslies, the sound quality on this equipment compared to the others isn't close. Not to mention, the equipment is in mint condition. Again, the purchase was made upon your recommendation.
You suggested a Trek II string bass unit be installed for a much richer bass response. I agreed without hearing it. Your tech installed the unit, I couldn't be more pleased.
In closing, thank you for your total honesty and delivering on your promises. I would never think of buying from another company after the experience I have had with you. Keyboard Exchange Rocks!
Sincerely,
Dennis Zernick

Dear Jim,
Just a note to let you know how much I am enjoying my B3 and Leslie from Keyboard Exchange International. I have to admit that I was a bit wary about purchasing them sight unseen, but our conversations along with the pictures and video you sent helped set my mind at ease. Even so, I was not prepared for the outstanding quality of the instrument when it arrived. Your technicians did an excellent job restoring the electronics as well as installing the Trek II String Bass and Reverberation units. Rodney and your father did remarkable work detailing the cabinet and keyboards, not to mention the delivery and setup. The result was an absolutely superb instrument that plays and sounds as good as it looks. I could not be more pleased.
In closing, please rest assured that your knowledge, patience and craftsmanship do not go unnoticed, and are greatly appreciated. It has been a pleasure doing business with such a fine group people as yourselves.
Sincerely,

Happy Customer Report
Posted on June 8 2007
Jim,
Please accept this E-mail endorsement as being totally unsolicited and completely voluntary on my part. Rodney completed his delivery just over an hour ago and I couldn't wait to send you these comments: We are delighted beyond words with the thorough job of restoration that Keyboard Exchange International did on my C-2 Hammond Organ. In a day when so many people simply will not do what they promise, it is totally refreshing to deal with someone who does more than they promise. You kept me informed on every stage of progress of the restoration, completed the work sooner that I expected and made the delivery exactly on time. I was able to get some volunteers to help with the unloading and no time was wasted in waiting for the delivery to arrive. I will be more than happy to endorse your work to anyone who may be considering doing business with you. I look forward to the day when we may have a business relationship again.
Thanks Again, Stanley Strickland!

"I have dealt with a lot of organ players all over the US and all of them have said that if I ever need anything Hammond that the ‘B3 guys on Orlando’ are the people to deal with. That they are fair and reputable and will never give you a bad deal. I have to agree wholeheartedly and you now have someone new singing your praise. Anything that I need, I will get from you in the future. Sincerely Dan"

"Keyboard exchange has the best selection of vintage Hammond organs and Leslie speakers I have ever seen. When I first visited Jim's shop I was like a kid in a candy store. Jim, the owner, gave me the opportunity to play any organ in the showroom and even let me dig through his collection in the adjacent warehouse. After several weeks of mixing and matching organs and Leslies, talking with Jim's very knowledgable service technicians, and even getting some personal music lessons, I purchased a mint condition and fully restored A-100 with a matching 147RV leslie speaker with the original finish. Jim personally delivered the beast to my house, set it up, and provided me with a 3 month parts and labor warranty. Keep up the great work Jim, my A-100 is screamin' and your Hammond organs ROCK!"
