Johann Friedrich Turley

Johann Friedrich Turley (born June 23, 1804 in Treuenbrietzen ; † 1855 "not far from Köthen") was an organ builder who worked in Brandenburg in the first half of the 19th century .

Life

Turley learned organ building from his father Johann Tobias Turley and worked for him in the last years of his life. Various new organs were built by the two of them together. After his father's death, he took over the workshop and moved the company to Brandenburg, where he worked with his half-brother Albert Turley after 1844. He bore the title of "Royal Prussian Organ Builder". On December 28, 1827 he married Theresia Meyer from Wendhausen , from whom he divorced before 1844.

Work (selection)

A few new organs by Johann Friedrich Turley are known - most of them in the western Mark Brandenburg. The "coreless labial pipes " with deep-seated cores and the ivory mouthpieces for reed voices have been characteristic since the 1830s . Some instruments have been preserved. Instruments that are no longer available are in italics .
