Jan L. van den Heuvel 50 years organbuilder
At sixteen Jan went (in 1963) to work for D.A. Flentrop in Zaandam. He persisted in his championship of the romantic organ in face of the neo-baroque ideals and finally set up his own organ building company in 1967. His first new organ (III/P, 32 stops) was built in Singelkerk, Ridderkerk (NL). Jan also made the richly profiled organ case and wood carvings.
