Johan Niclas Cahman was born in 1679 or 1680 in Flensburg. He built several organs in Sweden, including important instruments in the cathedrals of Uppsala (1692-1694), Härnösand and Linköping. He was brought to Sweden by King Karl XI, together with his father, also an organ builder, Hans Hendrik Cahman. Unfortunately, almost all of his instruments have disappeared. Cahman died on June 18, 1737 in Stockholm. He has been called the father of Swedish organ building. A well-known pupil of Cahman was Daniel Stråhle.
