The Church

The Church was build in the sixties. In the eighties it was enlarged to give place to 1100 people. At this time the organ had had it's best times and the decicion was made to buy a new organ. The tonal concept was written down in words like: full, warm and clear. Unfortunately the accoustic conditions are not so good.

Some details

The complete stop list.

The internal layout of the instrument is almost clear when you have a look at the front picture. The Rugpositief (Choir) is in the small case on the gallery, the Hoofdwerk (Great) in the center, behind the Hoofdwerk the Zwelwerk (Swell) and on each side of the Hoofdwerk the Pedaal (pedal). The console and all the action is made in Classical Dutch style. Almost all the wood work (pipes and cases) is made in magahony.
