Visit to the oldest organ of Holland: Oosthuizen

Organist Wim Stroman visits one of the oldest organs of the Netherlands at Oosthuizen, a little town just 20 km north of Amsterdam.  Herman van Leuven (from the foundation "Grote kerk Oosthuizen")  tells about the history of both the church and the organ. When the organ was build and who the manufacturer was is still uncertain. Because of the limited compass of the manual in combination with the meantone tuning the playable repertoire on this instrument is limited as well. But it's charm and beauty gives always much pleasure and inspiration to play it!
