Description nr.: 1010057.

Built by: firma Gerrit C. Klop (1981)


  • Gerrit Klop built in 1981 a portable organ ('Portatief') for Jelte Veenhoven in Soest. It consists of four parts that can easily be separated from each other. The side towers are attached to the middle section with a wooden hook. The middle part with the small pipework and the wind chest form one whole and then there is a separate frame, in which the wind motor is incorporated. The Regaal is made of maple, the other pipework of cedar wood. The keys are covered with ebony, the semi-keys are made of maple. The keys have pediments with a checker disk motif, as was customary in the construction of spinets. The organ case is made of cherry wood. The register plates are minimal: the Regal is indicated with R and the other registers are indicated with the foot measurement.
  • In 2020 the instrument was transferred to the Sint Josephkerk in Haarlem.
