The Amsterdam-based Dutch organ builder G.A.C. de Graaf received the contract to build this organ for the new Reformed church in Hoogeveen (NL). The church community had previously worked with this organ builder to full satisfaction on the restauration project of another church organ. De Graaf worked out the design drawings and started various activities. However, De Graaf unexpectedly moved to Zaragona, Spain and the work stagnated. Due to this the church decided to contract another organ builder. The well known German organ building company Oberlinger GmbH from Windesheim was willing to continue the work according to the designs of organ builder De Graaf. Oberlinger constructed the different organ cases, the wind chests, the key- and stop action as well as the wind supply according to the drawings provided to him. They also manufactured the complete console with keyboards and coupling mechanism as well as related action. They delivered also several flue- and reed stops. The organ, with 20 stops divided over Hoofdwerk, Borstwerk and Pedal was inaugurated in 1973. Download the brochure for more detailed information.
