In the newly renovated, beautiful rococo church of St Martin in Messkirch, a new organ system will be built in 2025 with the main organ in the upper gallery and a choir organ in the upper sacristy.

The Bourdon 16 ', Subbass 16 ' and Flötenbass 8 ' stops from a previous instrument from 1901 (Wilhelm Schwarz, Überlingen) can be well integrated into the sound concept of the new organ.

The future main organ will be placed in the centre of the upper gallery directly above the royal box. The choir organ will be concealed in the upper sacristy. Both organs can be played via the three-manual console in the organ loft. The main organ is mechanical, the choir organ is purely electric. For the musical accompaniment in the choir room, an additional, mobile central console is provided, from which the entire organ system can also be played.

We are delighted to be working on this exciting organ project in this wonderful church interior!
