Built by: Henk Klop (2019)


  • Henk Klop built a new organ in sixteenth century style in 2019. The instrument has only wooden pipes, and is based on Italian organs from this period. An important example is the instrument in the Silberne Kapelle in Innsbruck. The new organ can easily be dismantled and transfered to another location. The organ was commisioend by the NMF (Nationaal Muziekinstrumenten Fonds). Consultants were Pieter van Dijk and Krijn Kroetsveld. The organ case is also designed in a Italian style, with paintings by Michele Barchi. It was inaugurated with a special concert in the Sint Franciscus Xaveriuskerk in Amersfoort on January 19, 2020, with the Ensemble le Nuove Musiche and Krijn Koetsveld, conducting and playing the new organ.
  • The organ can by choice be played with a manual with short octave (CE-d''') or without (C-d'''). An electric blower can be connected if desired. The organ can easily be tuned in different temperaments and the pitch can be lowered or raised a half tone.
