September 2022 we have recorded the van Eeken organ of the Hervormde kerk of Hoogblokland (The Netherlands) for Hauptwerk.
In 2002, Henk van Eeken built a new interior in Van den Bijlaardt's organ case in the Reformed Church in Hoogblokland.
Some pipework from Vollebregt was used during construction. Advisor on the work was Aart Bergwerff.
He played the organ during its official commissioning on November 14, 2002.
The Van den Bijlaardt organ was put into use on April 19, 1900. It was an organ with a manual with ten voices and an attached pedal.
In 1976 it was overhauled by Jan Hoogenes. The keyboard was renewed and the disposition was changed.
The Bourdon 16' placed Hoogenes as an independent register on the pedal. Furthermore, the Vox Celeste was removed, and a Sesquialter and a Mixture were added to the keyboard.
He replaced the Trompette with a new one.

3. Drie kanalen techniek:
|
All samples used were recorded from 3 positions in stereo (24 bit 96kHz).
As one of the final operations, the samples are converted to 24 bit 48 kHz.
The set is supplied in the 3-channel technology devised by Sygsoft, which allows the user to adjust the listening position himself.
There are 3 positions:
1: Front, recorded very close to the organ. Here you will hear a very direct recording that can be used for study purposes.
2: Middle, this shot was taken at approximately 3 x the distance used for the front shot.
3: Behind (Rear), far away from the organ.
By means of 3 sliders (0 - 100%) you can create a mix of the four positions according to your own taste.
A good starting point for setting the sliders is e.g. Front-Middle-Rear 25-60-100
