Matthias Dropa

Matthias Dropa (born between 1646[1] and 1665[2] – 25 September 1732) was a German organ builder.

A pupil of Arp Schnitger, he built organs in Northern Germany, including St. Michaelis, Lüneburg.

He moved to Lüneburg in 1705, where he built a new organ at St. Michaelis, together with his assistant Gerhard von Holy [de].

From 1712 to 1715, he expanded the organ of St. Johannis, supervised by Georg Böhm by a pedal.
