Prague, 1642-1673 [Hauptwerk]

Prague Baroque (1642-1673) - A South German Organ Model

While many virtual models of organs have one specific instrument as the template, we decided to take different approach this time. The advantage of presenting a "South German Organ Model" without a direct connection to certain specific instrument is that it is more clearly shown that all the organs of this family in the given period are quite similar to each other and have many common characteristics, in spite of their differences. 

The sample set consists manly of the masterpiece of Johann Heinrich Mundt (1632-1691) finished in 1673 for the church of Our Lady before Tyn in Prague. It is the most typical representative of the Czech organ building. The monumental instrument by Johann Georg Freundt (1590-1667) built for the Klosterneuburg abbey near Wien (finished in 1642) compliments this sample set with additional reeds of all kinds: full-, half- and short-resonators.
