Steven Eaklor

Steven Eaklor is a walking encyclopedia of the history of the electronic organ –especially the Hammond Organ. Since he was a child he has loved the Hammond and ironically enough grew up to become one of the company’s product engineers. Within the industry, Steven has played a vital role as the leading Hammond expert for the NAMM Foundation’s Museum of Making Music, as well as countless publications. He worked to promote the instrument and contributed to some design and electronic improvements over the years. During his second NAMM interview, Steven provided details regarding Suzuki’s involvement, beginning in 1990, as well as some of the models he was involved with engineering, which include the Hammond XB2.
