Kampen Broederkerk
The organ of the Broederkerk in Kampen was built in 1822 by Albertus Johannes van Gruisen of Leeuwarden, incorporating earlier pipework. Successive alterations and extensions resulted in its present configuration of 32 stops across three manuals and pedal. Piotr Grabowski created a sample set of this organ for Hauptwerk.
Construction and restoration
The organ history of the Broederkerk dates back to around 1620, when Jan Morlet II built an instrument. Following the rearrangement of the church interior in 1811, Van Gruisen built a new organ against the choir screen. Zwier van Dijk enlarged the organ case in 1882. In 1911 and 1912, Jan Proper carried out a substantial rebuild, including the addition of a pneumatic pedal division.
During the restoration between 1989 and 1993, a third manual was added and the Rugpositief case was brought back into use. The pneumatic pedal action was replaced with mechanical action. The instrument was inaugurated again on 31 March 1993.
The organ and the sample set
The organ comprises Rugpositief, Hoofdwerk, Onderpositief and Pedal divisions. The Onderpositief is situated in the lower part of the organ case, directly behind the console. Its sound projects through openings in the sides of the case. This division contains the oldest pipework in the instrument.
Piotr Grabowski recorded the organ for Hauptwerk. In the sample set, the manual compass has been extended from C to f³ to C to a³, and the pedal compass from C to d¹ to C to f¹.
This sample set is available for all our Hauptwerk organs through supplier Piotr Grabowski.
