Mänttä, Finland, Mäntän Seurakunta (28/III/P, 2003)

The Church of Mänttä, Finland has a new symphonic organ by Van den Heuvel. This new organ (30IIIP) replaces an organ constructed in 1928 by Cavaillé-Coll/Convers. The detached console is centrally placed on the organ balcony allowing the organist to have good visual contact with the liturgical center and makes it possible to conduct the choir. There is for performances with an ensemble or small orchestra.

The key action of all four divisions is mechanical while the electrical stop action features a combination action. Inauguration took place on May 18th 2003.
Musical director and organist is Sami Salomaa, the organ consultant is Matti Pesonen.
