Taken from the University Website This is an 18th-century style German chamber organ, designed for continuo accompaniment in both instrumental and vocal music, for solo recitals, and for the 18th-century organ concerto repertoire. It is also a practice instrument of the highest quality for organ students on campus. The instrument was designed and built for Barnes Hall in 2003 by Munetaka Yokota and colleagues at the Göteborg Organ Art Center (University of Göteborg, Sweden). Its specification is based on several central-German chamber organs from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The visual design is modeled on a chamber organ at Schloss Burgk, Germany by J. T. Hübe (1722).

Database Manager on November 22nd, 2011:
Identified through online information from Bryan Dunnewald. -- Interesting instrument. Bellows can be hand-pumped or electrically operated. Built as a historical project. In good condition as of 2011.
