Johann Eberhard Dauphin

Johann Eberhard Dauphin (* around 1670 ; buried April 20, 1731 in Hoheneiche ) was a German organ builder who mainly worked in East Hesse .

Life

Johann Eberhard Dauphin was the brother of the organ builder Johann Christian Dauphin , who had learned organ building from Johann Friedrich Wender in Mühlhausen / Thuringia . Johann Eberhard Dauphin probably also apprenticed to Wender and met Johann Sebastian Bach , for whom his brother had built the organs in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen. Johann Eberhard Dauphin obtained citizenship in Mühlhausen before 1713 and settled there as an organ builder. On December 23, 1713, his son Johann Christoph was baptized in Mühlhausen. In 1715 the family moved to Iba , where Dauphin was commissioned to build a new organ. Dauphin died while the organ in Hoheneiche was being completed.

plant

Dauphin usually created small village organs that were based on a four-foot principal, but always had an independent pedal . Only the plants in Iba and Reichenbach have principal 8 ′ as a basis. Typical is the use of the Quintatön registers instead of Gedackt (one octave lower than Principal) and Gemshorn 4 ′. The structure of the prospectus is designed according to the Central German normal type with three pipe towers and single-storey flat fields in between. Only the factory in Hessisch Lichtenau had a Rückpositiv and pedal towers, but fell victim to the church fire of 1886. The ornamental style of Dauphin's organs is so different that different carvers can be assumed.

List of works

While only eight new organs were secured by Dauphin in the 1970s, the number has increased since then:
