Albertus Antonius Hinsz

Albertus Antonius Hinsz probably learned his trade with either or both of Joachim Richborn [de] and Franz Caspar Schnitger.

Hinsz built numerous organs in the North German tradition, across the provinces of Groningen and Friesland.

He was a life-long friend of Jacob Wilhelm Lustig [de], organist at the Martinikerk in Groningen, who also came from Hamburg.

After his death, his stepson Frans Casper Snitger [de] jr. together with Heinrich Hermann Freytag took over his workshop, which continued to build organs in Netherlands in the tradition of Arp Schnitger into the 19th century.
