Einiges zu diesem
großen Projekt:
John Brombaugh,
bekannter Orgelbauer aus Oregon, bat mich 1999 mit Ihm ein großes Projekt zu
machen. Das hat mich damals sehr erstaunt, da unsere Werkstatt gerade 2 ½ Jahre
existierte. Nun, wir lernten uns kennen und machten gemeinsam einige
Orgelfahrten, so landeten wir auch in Göteborg und konnten damals das gelungene
Projekt in der „Örgryte neue Kirche“ bestaunen. Näheres zu diesem Projekt
finden Sie auf der Webseite: www.goart.gu.se.
Hier lernte ich auch Winold van der
Putten kennen, der sehr um den historischen Orgelbau bemüht ist. In dieser
Zeit baute er gerade eine kleine gotische Orgel (heute zu sehen in Marsum /
Niederlande). Auf der Rückfahrt von Göteborg machten wir mit einigen
Orgelbauern in Roskilde (Dänemark) halt, wo man damit befasst war, das Dach des
Domes wieder mit Bleiplatten zu decken. Winold van der Putten und ich waren von
diesen Methoden in Göteborg und Roskilde so beeindruckt, das wir beschlossen
unsere nächsten Orgelprojekte mit auf Sand gegossenen
Pfeifen auszustatten, da wir erkannten, das diese Methoden doch früher im
Orgelbau oft angewandt wurden.

Other details
This proposal provides an organ with a total of 64 stops having approximately 3825 pipes over 62 registers of
81 ranks
Keydesk attached in middle front of lower Main case, at organ gallery
floor level
Keyboard compasses: Manuals, 56
notes: C - g’’’; Pedal, 30 notes: C - f’, flat; layout
dimensions like Op. 33.
Mechanical key action, suspended; some
large pipes and/or couplers may be electrically actuated or assisted
Electric stop action with adjustable solid state combination system with
multiple memory levels
Mechanical control of Swell division louvers
Metal flue pipes of finest lead/tin and/or copper alloys, hammered and
voiced for vocale sound
Cone tuning for small flue pipes;
soldered hats for stopped metal pipes; all
reeds tunable by resident organist
Tuned using mild unequal temperament (Kellner’s “Bach”), nicely suited
to music of all periods
Wind system with wedge bellows and
electric blower; stable, but flexible
Organ to have fumed Appalachian white oak and Western red-cedar casework
with appropriate moldings, gilding and other ornamentation following historic
European traditions as exemplified in Builder’s work such as Brombaugh- organs
Op. 26, 33, etc, but simplified so as not to clash with concert hall decor.
The Positive Left and Positive Right divisions to be in two mirrored
cases at either side projecting forward from organ gallery above and behind the
main stage with arrangement so performer is nicely visible to audience. The Great and Bombarde divisions and smaller
Pedal pipes will be placed in the upper Main Case. The Swell division will be located behind
nice appearing Swell shades in the central space above the Keydesk in the lower
Main Case. The larger Pedal pipes and
bellows & blower of wind system
will be hidden from view behind organ or be located in acoustically isolated
room nearby rear of organ with floor level of organ gallery.
