Eckdaten Orgel

Organ in St. Johannis Harvestehude

Location: Kirche St. Johannis-Harvestehude
Heimhuder Str.92
20148 Hamburg
Builder: Marcussen & Søn (Åbenrå, Dänemark)
Year of construction: 1882
Number of pipes: ursprünglich ca. 1.400, aktuell ca. 3.600
Number of stops: ursprünglich 25, aktuell 53
Setting: ursprünglich 2, aktuell 3 Manuale und Pedal

The sound quality of the 53 stops is based on the late Romantic ideal. All preserved original pipes of Marcussen are heard in the new organ of Mühleisen. The organ also has an interface that allows an interaction between organ, electronic sound generators and computer programs. Utilizing synthesizers from the console and merging them with the organ sound or even recording and editing improvisations directly on the computer are just a few of the many possibilities offered by this system.
