Info on the 1930 organ at Bern Cathedral (Bern Münster)?

[LPhilbrick]

Does anyone have details about the 1930 organ at the Bern Cathedral (Switzerland)? The cathedral's website has link that should open a PDF document, but I haven't had any luck in doing so.

I'd like to see if I can open the PDF you mentioned -could you provide a link to the page?

I looked briefly (I'm pressed for time) at their website and only found mention of the most recent rebuild (1999/2000), plus details of the other organs currently located there.

I'm curious - what is your interest in the 1930 instrument specifically? That organ was changed many times before- and after - that date.

I apologize for the delay in responding... I've been busy.

The link is http://www.bernermuenster.ch/sites/bm/bm_muenster_orgeln.html. Indeed, it is in German. However, using the Google toolbar I translated it into English.

I probably referred to the incorrect instrument in my first post, soubasse32. I am interested in the "main organ," as the website refers to the instrument. I happened to run across an episode of Diane Bish's show (I know, I know!), and was intrigued by it.

Soubasse32: "Johann" is German; "Johan" is Dutch.[:)] The advantage to the German spelling is that people realize that it isn't just John misspelled. [:O]

Thanks for the link. Very interesting reading (once translated). [:)] I saw a Diane Bish episode filmed there, too. The PDF link won't work for me, either

There is a nice recording of the Bern instrument by Christopher Herrick; I've been listening to it over the weekend.

Here is a linkto the organ stoplist.
