“The Cappel Schnitger instrument is fabulous – thank you.”

Dr. Matthew Suttor, Associate Professor & Director, Laurie Beechman Center for Theatrical Sound Design & Music, Yale School of Drama

Located in Cappel, Germany this Schnitger is considered by experts, musicologists and organists alike, to be the most well preserved and best sounding Arp Schnitger organ in the world today.

Built in the North German style, the organ is ideal for playing larger baroque works, including those of Bach, Lubeck and Buxtehude as well as works from the Renaissance period.
