More on the organs: http://gregharrold.com/styled/ The red chamber organ was built by Ibe Peters Iben of Emden, Germany, in 1783. For most of its existence it has been in private hands, although it stood in the Church of Wetsinge-Sauwerd from 1870 to 1910. [It was originally built for the Onstaborg in Sauwerd, Groningen province] The organ is of exceptional historical interest because the majority of the pipes date from the early seventeenth century. Only the front display pipes (bass of the 4-foot principal) were constructed specifically for it. They are made of wood and carved round. The statues on top of the instrument (King David playing a harp, an angel playing a lute and another playing a gamba) also date from the early seventeenth century. Although an electric blower was added sometime in the 1940s or 1950s, the original bellows are still functional and can be operated by means of a foot pedal. The instrument was completely restored (pipes cleaned and voices, case and Statues repainted and regilded, paintings on the doors cleaned) by Greg Harrold of Los Angeles in 1984. [This recording was made before the restoration by Greg Harrold] The organ was given to the University of California through the generous bequest of Fanny Jeffers Pray in memory of her grandfather, the Reverend Samuel Hopkins Willey (1821-1914). Mr. Willey was the Acting President and Trustee of the College of California dueing the the time it was transformed into the University of California, and he is said to have been largely responsible for the creation of the University. Only three other instruments by Iben survive, one in Bellingwolde, Holland (1783) [Now in the Organeum, Weener], one in St. Ulricht Church in Brunswick (1789), and the other in the Museum of Brunswick (1805).
