Flentrop organ from Lemmer - Sint Willibrorduskerk   (Netherlands)

Flentrop Organ from Lemmer
                                                                                               History
Lemmer is a town in the municipality of De Fryske Marren, in the Dutch province of Friesland.
Lemmer is a popular lakeside resort with a population of 10,000. Lemmer has been an inhabited village since the 11th century, and since the Middle Ages it was an important fishing town in the Netherlands, thanks to its fleet of 150 ships.

The Roman Catholic church in Lemmer, the St. Willibrordus church, was built in 1901 based on the plans of Nicolaas Molenaar, an architect from The Hague. The church was renovated in 1993.

The Sint Willibrorduskerk in Lemmer already had an organ before 1868. It was a closet organ. In 1868, the company Adema installed a new organ in the church, which was radically renovated in 1934 by the company Steinmann & Vierdag. The current organ of the church was made by Flentrop Orgelbouw in 1977-78. The 9-register mechanical organ with one manual and pedal mechanism is suitable for playing simpler Renaissance and Baroque works in addition to serving the liturgy. The pedal register is from a 1934 Steinmann & Vierdag organ.

Special thanks to Leander vd Bos for obtaining the license. He made the recording. The following friends helped me to make and publish the sample set (in alphabetical order): Dominique Dantand, Gerard Lefranc, Nagy Istvan and Jean-Pierre Silvestre. If something's done well, it's thanks to them. Thank you for their work.
It gives me great pleasure that, in cooperation with Leander, this is already the third Dutch organ that we can provide free of charge to Hauptwerk-using organists.

Features
Sample quality 
The sample sets are available in wave format 48kHz/24bit, stereo, multiple loops (1-8) and multiple releases (3 levels). a=436 Hz
The sample sets are made in three forms.

Audio demos

Playing Dominique Dantand, Nagy István and Jean-Pierre Silvestre
Free download the full sample set!
and install the sample that can be used with Hauptwerk v4.2 or Hauptverk 5-7.  Install the 01 pack first. After installation, you can use the stereo-far version. Then install pack 02. After installation, you can also use the stereo-near version. Then install pack 03. After installation you can also use the 6-channels surround versions. The order of installation is important, you can't deviate from it! If you use one of the Hauptwerk 5-7 versions, you can also install the IR file, which we recommend using together with the near version.
After installation, you can use the full sample without any restrictions.  I also made a lite version. This version contains only the original layout, without any additions or expansions, and can be played with very modest hardware. If you like the sample, upload audio demos to contrebombarde.com. 


Surround vs Stereo mode

If you do not have a surround sound system, but there is enough memory (RAM), I suggest you also install the surround version. If you activate the front and rear stops too, then you will get a more compact and fuller sound than the simple stereo.
