Bellingwolde, NL
The organ in Bellingwolde was built by Heinrich Hermann Freytag and Frans Caspar Snitger jr. It was completed in 1797. It has no back work. Over the years, the organ has undergone a lot of work. However, not much has changed. In 1931, the Van Dam company replaced the Dulciaan of the Hoofdwerk with a Violon 8' and the Sesquialter with a Gamba 8'. In 1992, AH de Graaf carried out a restoration and reconstruction, so that it now looks as it did in 1797. Stef Tuinstra was the advisor during the restoration. Since the restoration, the Bourdon 16' has had two positions, so that only the notes C-cis sound when the registers are half drawn. In 2019, the Elbertse company carried out major maintenance, as well as cleaning work. Under the advice of Stef Tuinstra, work was also done to improve the playing character and mechanisms, but with great restraint. The work was completed in April 2020. On May 16, 2020, the instrument was put back into use during an open afternoon.

Mainz, DE
St. Martin's Cathedral in Mainz was founded in 975 by Archbishop Willigis, who was also Archchancellor of the Holy Roman Empire. As the most powerful man in the Church after the Pope, Willigis demanded the construction of a church of impressive size, which was consecrated in 1009. On the day of his consecration, however, it was destroyed by fire. The new building was completed in 1036. After another fire in 1081, it was rebuilt under Emperor Henry IV (1084-1105). It was only much later that Gothic and Baroque additions were made. From 1872 to 1877, the cathedral was restored under the direction of P.J.H. Cuypers. The cathedral, together with the cathedral churches of Speyer and Worms, is a highlight of Romanesque architecture along the Rhine. These three churches are collectively called the Kaiserdome.
