I don't know which model Hammond you are referencing. As for the popular B series like the B-3, the C series like the C-3, or RT series like the RT-3, or A100 series, both manuals have the same ranges but the drawbars can be tuned in a way that changes that if desired. As for the spinet models such as the M-3, M100, or T100, I don't remember if the ranges are different. A Google search should get that info for you.

Thanks, ninworks. Obviously, there is more to Hammond than B and C series, but that's what I had in mind when asking the question. I don't play keys but have been kicking around the idea of getting something. One of my friends said that it's easy to run out of real estate on a 61 key board. I wondered if the fact that B and C manuals are offset indicated that the instrument's range is greater than 61, or if 61 has been adequate for a lot of good players.
PS: I like the 1275. I had a Polaris White SG Special years ago.

The A, B, and C manuals actually are NOT offset. The spinet models are however.
That isn't an actual 1275 it's one of the earliest Ibanez "Lawsuit" copies. It was a very early one. The serial # was 000016. It was stolen from me decades ago and I'm still angry about it. That guitar was heavy like an anvil but played and sounded great.
