I am delighted to announce the release of the Jacobikerk Uithuizen Sample Set.
Located in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands, the historic church of Uithuizen is home to an organ that captures the unmistakable character of the North German organ-building tradition. Its distinctive tonal palette, clarity, and versatility make it equally rewarding for historically informed performance and everyday playing.
The new sample set faithfully recreates this remarkable instrument, allowing organists to experience its sound and musical personality from anywhere in the world. Every effort has been made to preserve the organ’s authentic character, delivering a responsive and immersive virtual playing experience for Hauptwerk users.
Whether your repertoire includes the music of Sweelinck, Scheidemann, Buxtehude, Bach, or later composers, the Uithuizen organ offers a compelling combination of brilliance, warmth, and expressive flexibility.
