The Holtkamp Organ Pasi Additions

 

Pasi Organ Builders is pleased to announce the completion of an organ which complements the existing historic 3-manual Holtkamp organ from 1961 at Saint John's Abbey Church in Collegeville, Minnesota, to make for a four-manual instrument.

This project intentionally preserves what is Walter Holtkamp's last organ. It is a very elegant sounding instrument but has never had adequate power for the large church. The challenge of this exciting project was to create a new organ large enough to fill the church in a majestic way, but also to blend with and complement the Holtkamp.

The instrument is located behind a large silk screen with plenty of room for this major addition. The stunning church lets the organ make beautiful sounds.
