Hammond Organ Gallery

John Felice likes to say he was in the right place at the right time when he opened a Hammond Organ dealership in the 1960s. As the home organ market began to take off John had the staff and inventory in place to meet customer’s needs. His creative marketing led to many special promotions within the store as well as sales at events such as county fairs. John was proud to have been one of the first dealers in the United States to introduce such new programs as the Hammond Piper in the late 1960s. As a musician, John enjoyed a career that included gigs with Frank Sinatra and Patti Page, among others, before he opened his retail store.
