Reinalt Johannes Klein
Reinalt Johannes Klein (born December 22, 1958 in Konstanz ) is a German organ builder .
life and work
Reinalt Klein grew up in a musical family and taught himself to play the piano and organ. He learned organ building from 1978 to 1982 at Mönch & Prachtel (Überlingen), where he worked with Claude Jaccard and thus got to know French organ building. He spent his time as a journeyman in 1982 with Mönch & Prachtel and 1983 with Claude Jaccard in France and 1984/1985 with Gebr. Späth Orgelbau and 1985–1988 with Harald Rapp in Ennetach. From 1988 to 1992 he studied musicology at the Free University of Berlin . Since 1993 he has worked as a freelance organ builder for Bartelt Immer (North) and Uwe Knaak (Berlin). His masterpiece in 1994 was the replica of the Louis Alexandre Clicquot organ (1734) in the Stapelmoorer church . A year later he passed the master's examination. Until 1998 he was still involved in various projects as a freelancer, especially in the area of historically oriented construction and intonation . In addition to organ building and restoration, he immersed himself in project processes and team leadership.
In May 1998 he opened his own workshop in Leipzig, where he concentrated on historical keyboard instruments. From 1999 to 2001, Klein was the technical project manager of the Göteborg Organ Art Center for the construction of the north German baroque organ in Örgryte, Sweden , and ran the metal pipe workshop together with Munetaka Yokota. He also worked on the intonation. At the end of 2008, Klein moved into the Stockelsdorf church near Lübeck, into which he built an organ workshop. From 2007 to 2011 he worked with Amadeus Junker (Meinersen) in the field of historical metal pipe construction.
The metal pipes are manufactured by Klein based on historical models, the organ metal is poured onto sand or clay and planed by hand, and everything is produced in-house without any supplies. Only mechanical come tracker action used. Klein examined the historical pipe inventory of the organ in Kappeln and compared the lengths and inscriptions with the Scherer organ from St. Nicolai in Mölln . The findings showed that eight registers come wholly or partly from the 16th century by Jacob Scherer and his son-in-law Dirk Hoyer. For stylistic reasons, these Renaissance pipes from Kappeln were not integrated as originally intended, as Klein's largest new building was based on the late Baroque sound of the 18th century.

The size of the instruments is indicated in the fifth column by the number of manuals and the number of sounding registers in the sixth column. A capital “P” stands for an independent pedal, a lowercase “p” for an attached pedal.
