About Leslie
The Leslie loudspeaker is a specially designed audio device with the aim of creating sound effects using the so-called Doppler effect. The inventor of the Leslie loudspeaker is Donald Leslie, who was originally involved in the rebuilding of the Hammond organ sound generators. In 1940, he developed his rotating sound tube loudspeaker and offered it to the Hammond company to complement their organ. Initially, Hammond was not interested in his invention, but in 1966, after Laurens Hammond retired, the two companies established a collaboration and Leslie loudspeakers officially became an important accessory of the Hammond organ. By the late 1960s, Leslie loudspeakers had become a standard addition to electromechanical and electronic organs. Today, the Hammond brand is owned by the Japanese Suzuki Musical Instrument Corporation and the European headquarters of Hammond Suzuki Europe is located in the Netherlands.
