Østerhåb Kirke

Horsens, Denmark

Dedicatory recital by Prof. Ulrik Spang-Hanssen, June 9, 2013

This was our first overseas project with which we broke a historic barrier – we became the first ever American firm to build an instrument in Denmark, a country famous for consistently great organs and meticulous builders. We were deeply honored to have been chosen, and were excited to deliver a one of a kind instrument. The specification called for 26 stops, including a 32’ Contra Bourdon in the pedal.  The church building offered excellent acoustics with approximately four seconds of reverberation in an intimate, not-too-large room of very modern design.  Key action is mechanical and stop action is electric with electronic memory. This organ was featured on the cover of The American Organist magazine in August of 2013.
