Eduard Meyer (organ builder)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Meyer (* 1806 ; † December 4, 1889 ) was a German organ builder in the Kingdom of Hanover .

Life

(Friedrich) Eduard Meyer was born as the son of the court organ builder Ernst Wilhelm Meyer and his wife Christiane Meyer born. Jochmus was born in the year when his father settled in Hanover. Together with his younger brother Carl Wilhelm (* 1808; † January 5, 1882) he managed his father's workshop in Hanover from 1838 and shared the tasks with him: While Eduard was responsible for the artistic concept, Carl Wilhelm took over the technical planning and equipment. Eduard was the actual business successor of his famous father and also took his place externally. The Meyer workshop's strongest competitor was Christian Bethmann until 1833 , then Philipp Furtwängler from Elze . While the latter produced large numbers and was stylistically more progressive, Meyer built his early romantic works traditionally and in continuity with late baroque organ building. In 1870 the workshop had to be closed after around 100 new organs had emerged from it.
