Short history of the 1719 Hildebrandt organ
The organ in St. Bartholomew church in Pasłęk, Poland, was built during the years 1717-1719 by Andreas Hildebrandt from Gdańsk (Danzig). At the time it was one of the best instruments in East Prussia, distinguished by its unique placement in two symmetrical cases, a spinning star mechanism, a transposition apparatus in the Oberwerk section, reed stops with tinplate resonators, and an otherworldly choir of delicate wood flutes.
