Flentrop Orgelbouw Zaandam: pipe organ building, pipe organ restoration
philosophy - organ building
Apart from our own creativity we use the knowledge built up
over centuries of traditional organ building as
a basis for the design and construction of new instruments.
The basis for the design of all the components of an instrument is
formed by the specific acoustic and proportional
qualities of the space where the organ is going to be installed.
The measurements will be such that the result is a harmonious
interrelationship of all parts of the organ, leading
to optimum sound production.
The highest possible quality is our norm for materials and production
methods.
The result is an excellent touch, a wind supply that allows the pipes
to speak at their best.
Our ultimate aim is to create, along these principles, an instrument
with a personality of its own, perfectly
adapted to the space where it stands, and with a musical expressivity
with lasting appeal.
Because every organ that leaves our workshop is a unique, customised
instrument, it comes into its own not
only in churches but also in concert halls and living rooms.
