Charming positive organ, inspired by various small organs from the rich pool of historical instruments around Europe.

This instrument was originally a small house organ in a private instrument collection in Basel. Now it is in the Catholic Church in Egerkingen, and is mainly used for concerts, both as a continuo and a solo instrument.
Its Italian influence is evident in an 8' Principal primary voice, complemented by a 4' Flute and a 2' Octave. The wooden pipes give a characterful sound that fills the whole church effortlessly.
The organ is transposable to 3 different pitches and can be separated into two parts for transport.

    Was im Sommer 2007 eher zufällig entstand, entwickelte sich zu einem festen Bestandteil der Kultur in Egerkingen. Katharina von Arx damals Präsidentin des Kirchenchores organisierte für die Chororganistinnen und Chororganisten Konzerte in der Martinskirche. Schon bald erweiterte sich der Kreis der Musikerinnen und Musiker.
