ARP SCHNITGER
'Arp Schnitger' (born 1648-07-02, buried 1719-07-28) was a highly skilled and influential German organ builder. He was primarily active in Northern Europe, especially the Netherlands and Germany.
Notable examples still in use include the organ at St. Pancratius Church, Hamburg-Neuenfelde[1], originally completed in 1688, his largest two-manual instrument. Organs like this are credited with inspiring the renaissance in organ building during the late 20th Century, with its return to mechanical actions, known as tracker actions and smaller instruments, as distinct from the Victorian trend in symphonic organs.
