Chamber Organ

This is my chamber organ, made by Henk Klop in Holland.  I believe it's the only one of it's type

in Britain.

Here is the organ in Salzburg Cathedral, being used during the Salzburg Festival in a concert directed by Nicholas Harnoncourt, immediately before it was delivered to my garage in Walthamstow.

The case is finished in cherry wood and the 4 stops (ranks of pipes) are 8ft, 4ft & 2ft principals and an 8ft stopped flute.  The largest pipe of the 8ft principal is indeed 8ft (2.43 metres) tall.  The tall pipes are connected to the main organ by a wooden connector.  If the two are disconnected, the notes from F at the top of the bass stave  down to low C revert to the stopped flute 8ft pipes in the main organ.

 

All the stops are divided so that you can have different or additional stops above and below

middle C.
