The Johannus Legacy

"Music enriches our lives. Music is relaxing and releases all sorts of emotions. And ... it makes people happier. We, at Johannus, build organs. A trade which is deeply rooted in a craftsmanship which goes back for centuries."
- Mr G. A van de Weerd - Former Chairman of the Board, Johannus Organs

It is no coincidence that one of the worlds' greatest builders of digital classic organs is located in The Netherlands, where organ building and Dutch history are so closely interwoven.

Centuries of traditional Dutch craftsmanship are elegantly and skillfully combined with leading edge technology to produce and exceptional sound quality for discerning organists, whether a standard production model or a custom-design.

It is no wonder that Johannus has developed into a truly international company, exporting to over 80 countries.

These are exciting times for Johannus. Now considered Europes' most progressive and largest specialist builder of digital classic organs, the company is moving on to the second generation of family ownership and management. This is a family legacy. A legacy of passion and committment passed from one generation to the next.

There is only one way to experience this passion and committment: to play a Johannus organ and not only hear the difference but feel the difference in every stop, on every note for yourself.

With an extensive model selection on display, we are confident there is a Johannus organ just right for your home, church or institution.

As Johannus export to over eighty countries they manufacture organs with varying tonal characteristics. From this extensive range the following nine model ranges have so far proved the most popular in Australia.

Every Johannus organ is characterised by a strong craving for perfection and...a dream, cherished for a long time; a dream to be able to design and build an organ matching the pipe organ.
