2 Continuo Organs by Henk Klop, Holland Designed by the firm of G.C. and Henk Klop, Netherlands, this continuo organ has found a place among many of the early music groups and touring ensembles in the U.S. and throughout the world. To achieve the mild yet carrying tone so searched for in continuo organs, the pipework is made entirely of wood, following historical examples such as the Compenius organ (1610) in Copenhagen. This has as extra advantages extremely light weight and ruggedness of construction; it can be transported in any position without fear of damage. The case in which the organ is shipped also serves as its transport case. Placed on its back, the organ fits into almost any station wagon. All registers are split in bass and treble, with both stop knobs operated by one (left) hand. Casework is in cherry with ornamental grill panels. Specifications: compass C-f transposing keyboard A = 392 / 415 / 440 / 465 HZ Stopped 8 Chimney flute 4 Flute or Octave 2 Quint 2 2 / 3 or 1 1 / 3 (treble only) Dimensions: 112 x 83 x 50cm / 44 x 33 x 20 in.
