2011 Thomas Eichfelder  restoration

  • The Steinmeyer organ in the Heilig-Geist-Kirche in Schweinfurt is linked to the choir organ in the same church. The main work and pedal can be linked to the choir organ by means of a special coupler. There is also a button for 'generaltutti', where both organs are connected with full work. Finally, there is the link 'Hauptpedal-solo - Chorpedal-solo'. The choir organ can be played from the fourth keyboard of the main organ.
  • The choir organ was replaced in 2009-2010. It is not clear whether the new organ is still linked to the main organ. The main organ was restored in 2010-2011 by Thomas Eichfelder.
