The organ of the Catholic parish church St. Arnulf in Walsdorf , a local community in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate , was built by an unknown organ builder at the end of the 17th or beginning of the 18th century. The richly decorated prospectus has been preserved ; the interior was replaced in 1906 by Johannes Klais organ building. The instrument has ten sounding registers , which are distributed over two manuals and pedal .
History and technology
The five-part organ front is a splendid woodwork in the Baroque style with non-sounding zinc front pipes. The round, elevated central tower with a winged angel's head is flanked by two high flat fields that are united with the outer pointed towers and a common cornice . The gilded cartilage in the veil boards, the lateral blind wings and in the upper and lower friezes form a frame around the upper case. The protruding lower case in the parapet has coffered panels, richly decorated consoles, fruit hangers and auricle-like cartilage at the bottom.
The art historian Ernst Wackenroder wrote in 1928: “The middle bundle of pipes is drawn up on round, the two sides on triangular projecting consoles. The substructure well proportioned, with a specially selected field division, decorated with hanging fruit bunches and a rich base band. The contour is accompanied by cartilage. "
The organ comes from the Kalvarienberg monastery in Ahrweiler, which suggests that the prospectus was dated around 1678–1680. The builder and the original disposition are unknown. The instrument was sold in 1872 for 150 dollars to Walsdorf, installed two new register and the behind-intensive game table moved to the side. In 1906, Klais from Bonn built a new work with a pneumatic cone shutter as Opus 223 into the existing case, which was extended towards the rear. Since then, the free-standing console has stood on the left at an angle of 90 ° to the instrument, as seen from the nave.
The last stand is a restoration by Organbau Fasen around the year 2000.
