Demonstration of Hammond necklace spring reverb tanks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q121TZlh7iQ

I found these necklace guitar demo files on my laptop recently. I don't remember where I got them from originally.

Cool. Had never heard of these reverb units before. That video just about made me seasick though.

They used the necklace reverb tanks in some Hammond speakers way back when they made the speakers. I don't think anyone makes the necklace tanks any more. Accutronics, etc. still make the smaller straight tanks as you may know. I read somewhere that 2 spring Gibbs tanks are preferred for surf music, too.

That Hammond oil spring reverb sounded great. I wonder; where could such a thing be obtained?

Here's a good article about it in German.
And translated.

I got mine on Ebay years ago.

Good article. I think the first link is in Dutch, not German.

That was a great article, Ariel. I’d love to have one of those oil spring reverbs, and it was great to hear about the history behind them.

Trying A Weird Vintage Spring Speaker Reverb that i've never seen before.

Check out US patent 2768235. This is basically the same type of thing.

Yes of course. Duh
Glad people enjoyed it, the link has been sitting idly in my bookmarks for years.
