About the Organ

In June 2024, MBM acquired a newly built Baroque chamber organ made by the Klop company of The Netherlands. This magnificent instrument was a gift to MBM from Ronald and Frieda Bourne, in memory of their son, David S. Bourne. The organ has a range of C-f ’’’ with three ranks of wooden pipes: 8’ Gedeckt, 8’ Principal, and 4’ Rohrflöte. It also has a keyboard shift transposition feature allowing performance at four different pitch Levels: A=392, 415, 440, 465 Hz. The tracker action facilitates a crisp, speech-like beginning to each sound, and the ensuing singing, sustained tone is warm and clear. This organ is ideally suited for intimate solos and continuo ensemble performance. Madison Bach Musicians is overjoyed that the Klop is part of our musical family.
