The Bernhard brothers were a German organ building company based in Gambach , which operated in Hesse from the end of the 19th century until the First World War .

Life

The brothers Karl Theodor (1850–1936) and Karl Rudolf Bernhard (1854–1909) were sons of the organ builder Adam Karl Bernhard and grandsons of Johann Hartmann Bernhard . A few years before the death of their father, they performed under the name Gebrüder Bernhard . After his death, they continued the family business, to which a total of over 120 new buildings or conversions can be traced back. After the First World War, no more new buildings can be found.

plant

The Bernhard brothers created romantic organs in the traditionally traditional way of their family. They were conservative in orientation and only gradually opened up to technical innovations in organ building. Cone chests were not used until 1883, pneumatic action not until 1912. Primarily village organs with one or two manuals and rarely more than 20 stops were made.

Fundamental voices predominate in the disposition . The Progressio harmonica is often used as a mixed voice . Even small instruments with only a few registers have a sub-bass 16 ′ as a bass register. The prospectus is often designed in a round arch style.
