Thanks for demonstrating the compass of this historic organ. I'd like to quote what William Leslie Sumner said about it in his book, The Organ; "This is quite a remarkable instrument for the date. It is evident that Dutch composers were expecting more flexibility from their instruments, were exploring to the full everything that organ builders could give them, and were seeking to use the organ in a more restrained and artistic manner." Piet Kee's 1979 recording on it is also interesting.
