We have developed a two stop continuo organ and a trunk organ with up to six stops. We shall be building these during the summer and they will be available as of October 99.

Continuo Organ

[Images of the Continuo]

This instrument consists of four parts. Removable keyboard - centerpiece with pipes – base with windchest and bellows – stool.

This concept makes for easy transport; covers, of metal or of cloth, can be provided on request.

The keyboard is transposable, up or down, and is complete with counter B.

• The Holzgedackt 8' is of wood throughout
• The Holzrohr Flute 4' is of wood up to g'' and then metal.

The wooden pipes keep excellent tune, especially so because of the glued on caps. This makes the instrument ideal for travel. A different pitch can be adjusted to with no problem.

What makes this instrument interesting is that the stops are activated by foot. Thus the organist needn´t lift his fingers from the keyboard whilst playing. The inspiration for this type of stop activation came from a world-famous organist and we jumped at the idea.
