Velesovo, 2007 [Hauptwerk]

Velesovo Organ Model

Orglarstvo Močnik, Cerklje, Opus 14, built in 2007.

The instrument was newly built in 2007 for the church of our Lady in Adergas (Velesovo, Slovenia). The place belongs to the important pilgrim churches of the area. The organbuilder Tomaš Močnik lives in the town Cerklje nearby, and hence his Opus 14 in the Velesovo church is a kind of his "showroom" instrument. It was built in a very traditional manner, inspired by the Thuringian baroque organs, particularly by the work of Zacharias Hildebrandt. The tracker is purely mechanical, perfectly going, allowing good touch control.

The pipes are voiced extraordinary mild, even tender, and thus the resulting sound is not excessively pungent or penetrating. In spite of lower wind pressure, the pipes speak with ease and well defined attack.
