Northern light

Here is a picture of the completed organ in the pale light of winter solstice in Sweden. It gives the sacred room a completely different air of grace and solemnity.

In front of the organ is the 12th-century baptismal font, signed in runes by Mårten Stenmästare who built the church.

Crew Åkerman and the three musketeers

Åkerman & Lund, Sweden's most prestigious organ-building company, has throughout our project very kindly helped us with information and councel. They are also responsible for the innovative construction of the pumping mechanism for the bellows.

The motors now stand in line like three musketeers to provide that which today is too difficult to obtain. Manual labour.

First part completed

The first part of the project is now completed and the case stands in all it's beauty, awaiting the pipes that will be added soon.

We say goodbye and thank you to the Mocnik-crew, and thank them for their diligent work.

Outlines of an object of beauty

The organcase is starting to form. We are so happy that the chosen pigmentation works so well with the old altarpiece and pulpit.

Video

My colleague Iver has made a video of the building of the organ in the church, and put his very own soundtrack to it. The music is recorded at the Mocnik Hildebrandt-replica in Velesovo.

Building bellows

First things first. The air has to come from somewhere.

Disassembling

The crew has arrived from Slovenia and promptly started to dismantel the old organ. Goodbye organ.
