FOR SALE
VAN DEN HEUVEL PIPE ORGAN HYBRID
This instrument was built by the famous Dutch firm Van den Heuvel in 1995.
It is rare to find one of these fine organs on this side of the Atlantic
let alone a used one that is for sale. The casework and facade are outstanding.
The organ was built for the beautiful large home of Dirk Mooibroek of
Cincinnati, Ohio. Dirk was owner of ICMI Heiligers Organ Builders which
at one time worked with Van den Heuvel on various projects.
The Mooibroeks are relocating and a new compact Phoenix organ with van
den Heuvel casework has been built for their new home.
This is your opportunity to acquire a Van den Heuvel organ with 16 ranks
of pipes. The present electronic stop additions blend well with the pipes
but it is recommended that the organ be expanded by adding a new 3 manual
Phoenix console with Phoenix pipe control and new digital stops. A larger
console with additional French sampled stops along with the Phoenix American,
Baroque, and Orchestral specifications would further enhance the distinct
French character of the reed pipes. As is, this organ is quite powerful.
In the words of Dirk Mooibroek "It needs a Recit Mixture, and more
flue stops on both Grand-Orgue and Recit but I cannot recall playing any
24 stop organ that produced a more robust, grand sound." It has incredible
potential for any church installation.
The Case is of African Mahogany and stands about 16 feet tall, 12 feet
broad, and 6 feet deep. The console is detached and removable. Weight
is about 10,000 pounds. Pipes are Dutch-crafted with high tin content
of 70% on Principal ranks. The pipes are tuned “Dead Length”
except for the Hautbois 8'. The Grand Orgue Montre pipes are divided on
each side of the case. Gold–leaf mouths are on the facade pipework
which alone is valued at over US$5000.
PIPES RANKS:
Grande Orgue: 5 stops - Montre 8, Prestant 4, Doublette 2, Mixture III-V,
Trompette 8.
Recit-Expressif: 7 stops - Principal 8, Unda Maris 8, Bourdon 8, Flute
Fuseau 4, Doublette 2, Cornet III (tenor C), Hautbois 8.
PRICE: US $155,000

We have available 2 complete instruments for sale.
The first is currently
playing in a church. It will need to be removed in January of 2011
to make room for the new instrument. This organ is from the early
1960's and was assembled from new and used parts by Fritzche organ company.
It is in need of significant upgrades but would make an excellent instrument
for a moderate size church who is looking for a bargain.
The other instrument
is scheduled to be removed from the church next week to allow the installation
of a new organ. It will be in storage, however pictures are available.
This is a 2/12 Wicks organ from 1995 and is in excellent condition.
We also have Pipes, chest, blower
and some casework from a Rogers 205. The pipework consists of 2
49 note ranks. 4' Principal and 4'capped metal flute. This
could be used to augment an existing instrument or be added to a digital
instrument. Call if interested.
