House organ 2
The design of this organ is inspired by late 17th century examples. The façade is based on a number of southern rugwerk cases, such as the one at Cuijk. The rugwerk of the organ in the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam also provided inspiration. The case is made of vintage Slavonic oak. Its measurements and relationships are inspired by the baroque rules, such as certain geometric series, the golden section, and square root of 2. The instrument is intended as a study organ with a beautiful appearance and a warm, mild sound.
The dimensions of the case are as follows: | ||
Height: | 2450 mm | |
Width: | 1145 mm | |
Depth: | 525 mm |
The single wedge bellows is located in the lower case. The blower is situated under the bellows. The organ has a shared windchest with pallet boxes at both front and back. Its pipework is arranged in a pyramid form. As a consequence the largest pipes on the windchest are situated in the middle of the case. The white keys are covered in boxwood, the black keys with ebony
