Organs in Övertorneå and Hedenäset
The organs in Övertorneå and Hedenäset are two parts of a Renaissance organ from the early 17th century in northern Sweden . They are the oldest surviving organs in the country. Replicas of the original instrument are in their original location in the German Church in Stockholm and in Norrfjärden.
Original organs
German Church Stockholm
In 1608 and 1609 the German organ builder Paul Müller built an organ for the German Church in Stockholm with two manuals and 21 stops . The carver Mårten Redtmer created the prospectus. In 1621/1622 Peer Johnsson (Jönsson) built in a Rückpositiv and removed the breastwork. Further renovations took place until 1651. In 1684 the organist Gustav Düben described the organ with the disposition of the time . Further work then took place. In 1777 the community sold the instrument to northern Sweden.
Övertorneå
In 1779/1780 the main and upper works of this organ were built by organ builder Svahlberg in the village church in Övertorneå on the Finnish border. The pedals were missing. In 1933 this instrument was replaced by a new one, but remained in place. In 1971 it was restored by the Grönlund company and put back into use, a pedal mechanism was added. The newer organ was removed. In 1998/1999 restoration work took place again as part of the Övertorneå project 1991–1999 by Grönlund, the pedal mechanism was reconstructed based on the historical records from 1684.
