ABOUT THE ORGAN

The organ of the Lokhorstkerk in Leiden was built by Johannes Mitterreither in 1774 as a one-manual instrument with a pull-down pedalboard. In 1807, Lambertus van Dam enlarged it with an upper manual for a modest Positive division. In the next two centuries, several alterations were introduced to meet the changing musical fashions.
In 1999, Flentrop Orgelbouw (NL) restored the organ to its properties and appearance of 1807. The present disposition is:
