life and work
Only a few biographical details are known about Christoph Julius Bünting. He was born the son of the Hamburg organ builder Konrad Bünting. In 1733 the father moved to Lübeck, where he had been entrusted with work on the large organ of St. In Lübeck Konrad Bünting worked alongside the Schnitger student Hans Hantelmann and his student Christoph Erdmann Vogel.
There is evidence of joint work by Christoph Julius Bünting and his father in the 1730s. In addition to extensions in the Hanseatic city, the son carried out repairs and conversions in the wider area of Lübeck. The spelling “Bünding” is used by himself. The name "August Wilhelm Bünting", which is mentioned during the Curslacker expansion, seems to be confused. In the Jakobikirche in Lübeck, Christoph Julius Bünting expanded the large organ and in the Marienkirche both organs with a small swell based on the English model, which could be played from the upper keyboard and was mainly provided with tongue registers . On several organs, Bünting expanded the missing tones in the bass octave and built in coupling .
