I’d just like to take a minute to crow about Avatar’s B3 selection, because B3s are by no means commonplace these days. If you find one that works, you pay whatever the owner is asking for it and go about your business. You may have to mortgage your home, but hey, it’s a B3.

Avatar is lucky enough to have a fleet of B3s and Leslie speaker cabinets, each with a new case. It’s a sight to see for sure.

As a B3 owner, very often you need someone who can actually decipher the innards of the thing and get it working again when it throws a rod and needs a little rest. I’m not actually sure if there are rods to be thrown inside a B3. Every time I have looked inside one with the cover off, I have needed a lie-down and an aspirin tablet.

Luckily for Avatar, they are on good terms with one mister Milton Chapman, who is an expert on all things B3 and Leslie speaker cabinet. He’s also an excellent cure for any ailments that your Wurlitzer 300a or Rhodes may pick up.

If you can imagine someone who is part Sherlock Holmes, part witch doctor, and part wizard, then you put a gatsby style hat on top, that’d be Milton. I myself have seen him in said gatsby style hat and a pair of shorts playing a B3 long into the night. Which is also a sight to see on many levels.

If you have a B3 or Leslie cabinet and it’s sick, call Milton at 404.444.8804. If you don’t and you’d like to rent one, contact us!
