1961 Josef Hilmar Jørgensen  new organ
  Richard Bower & Co.  restoration and enlargement

  • Josef Hilmar Jørgensen built one of his last organs for Eid Kyrkje in Nordfjord. The instrument has 21 registers, and replaced a much smaller organ from 1898. This instrument was transferred to Eikefjord Kyrkje.
  • Over time, plans were made to expand the instrument. Material was purchased from another Jørgensen organ, which had been demolished. By the company Bower & Co. the work has been carried out. The organ has been extensively renovated and expanded with a third manual and a new console. At the request of the organist, an English Tuba (Posaune Magna) has been installed at 200 mm wind pressure.
