A prominent element in the shared culture of cities of the Hanseatic
League were the pipe organs. Jonathan Moyer begins a series on these
remarkable instruments in Lubeck, on an organ
with pipework from the mid-1400s. Expanded by Stellwagen in 1637, the
"north" organ in St Jakobi was an important model in the revival of
historical styles of organ building in the 20th century.
