Company History

The Goff family has been selling, installing, and servicing Hammond Organs and Leslie speakers for musicians since 1940 when Harold Goff began working as a Hammond Organ serviceman for multiple Hammond dealerships in Connecticut and New York. Harold was born in 1906 in Syracuse, NY and began playing piano in 1917 at the urging of his Mother. He soon played piano and pipe organ in church, silent movie theaters, skating rinks, and at regional musical events, ultimately becoming a professional musician in 1926. He continued playing piano and pipe organ and played his first Hammond Model A organ in 1935 in New York. Harold had also been working at General Electric in Syracuse, but left to play piano and Hammond organ professionally, and to begin his 44-year career as a Hammond Organ Service Technician. He played piano and organ from 1917 until 1984, a period of 67 years!

In 1965, after 25 years as a Hammond Service Technician, Harold was honored by Hammond Organ Company as the first "Senior Hammond Organ Service Technician" which he remained for another 19 years! Harold's sons, Bill and Al, and daughter Janet (Goff) Vumback worked in the family business since the 1950's, with Bill and Al specializing in technical service and installation. In the mid-1970's, Hammond Organ Company decided to introduce Regional Factory Service Centers, so Harold and Al formed Goff Organ Service, Inc. to support Hammond's factory and dealer regional service center in Connecticut and to continue providing dealer service for Hammond and Leslie Dealers throughout New England. Harold died suddenly in 1984, only a few hours prior to a scheduled "Big Band" playing engagement. Al continued running Goff Organ Service with the help of his brother Bill and added the GOFF Professional division in 1984. Janet's sons Wayne (Bud), Mike, Paul, and David Vumback soon joined the family business. In 2000, Al asked David to take over as President of the family business, with help from Al, Bill, Al's sons Bryan and Chris, and later from David's Mom, Janet (Goff) Vumback, and brother Mike Vumback.

As our family enters our 75th year of Hammond & Leslie Sales and Service in 2015, we are proud to be a 3rd generation family business and the oldest Hammond dealership in the world. Goff Organ Service and the GOFF Professional division are still focused on quality church and professional Hammond Organ and Leslie Speaker Sales, Service, Rebuilding, Installation, Mail Order Parts, and Technical Tour Support. We can't think of a better way to pay homage to our father / grandfather, Harold Goff.

Our presence on the web is dedicated to the memory of family members who are no longer with us. You will always be here in the hearts of your family and friends.
