Description : Sample library for the Hauptwerk organ emulator
The organ is located in the St. Lawrence Church in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The church was founded in 1525. Four hundred years later, during the war, the church was bombed by Germany, and as a result, almost the entire building was burned down, only some walls and one tower remained. Restoration took place from 1947 to 1968.
Initially, the church had a large three-manual instrument by master Hans Holtfuss, which was built in 1644. Later, in 1790, it was decided to replace the instrument with a new one.
The work on installing the organ was not completed, and in 1828 a group of Dutch organ builders successively completed the instrument.
In 1845, master Betz expanded the instrument to 72 registers. However, this instrument was still destroyed during the war.
The organ currently in the church was built by the organ building firm Marcussen & Son in 1973. It was a completely different, new instrument, and the façade design was by the architect J. W. Bezemer.
The instrument has 4 manuals, 85 sounding registers (including 6 Chamade registers), mechanical playing and register tract, has a channel for 3 manuals. Due to its extensive disposition, the instrument is suitable for playing almost any music.
