North German baroque organ in Örgryte Nya Kyrka

The goal of the project was to recreate the construction techniques and design philosophies of 17th-century German organbuilder Arp Schnitger.

Henk van Eeken was responsible for the design and the technical drawings, Munetaka Yokota for the pipe work and Mats Arvidsson oversaw the building process.

[4] The west wall of Örgryte Nya Kyrka was too small to fit a copy of the 32' façade in St. Jacobi, Hamburg so a different model had to be found.

[5] The case was placed as close as possible to the wall to shorten the distance the air must travel from the bellows room and to increase acoustical reflection.

It was designed by architect Ulf Oldaeus, based on a number of historical models, mainly the balconies of St. Nicolai und Martini in Steinkirchen, Lower Saxony.

The organs built by Arp Schnitger had a higher number of bellows per instrument than many other builders of his time.
