The Box Organ

St. Michael’s has had a new box organ from Dutch organ builder Klop since February 2017.

The instrument is used for smaller solo pieces and as a continuo instrument for cantatas and oratorios by the church musicians. Its compact design allows the box organ to be moved to various locations throughout the church.
