After serving as a great practice instrument since late 1997, I am selling my Johannes Sweelinck 30 to make room for the Hauptwerk 4 manual instrument I am building.

The Johannus Sweelinck 30 makes an exceptional practice or studio instrument.  It is 3 manuals and full AGO pedalboard.  I purchased it because it sounded far better than the digital instruments of the time, and I believe it still stands up to even the new digital instruments.  Asking price is $5000. Contact me at sweelinck30@gmail.com.

The organ has two sample sets, a Dutch sample set and an English sample set.  The stoplist is as follows:

 Pedal:
32 Subbass (in English sample set)

8 Generals, pistons and toe studs, 8 memories
8 divisionals on Sw, Gt Pedal and Pos (note that divisional 1 button on Sw has come out, so there are 7 divisionals on the Sw)
4 divisionals duplicated on toe studs for Pedal

All of the stop tabs are LED lit, and will require no maintenance.





 Locking roll top.  Separate expression pedals for Sw, Pos, Gt/Ped.  Crescendo pedal



I built an extra large plexiglass music desk to replace the woefully inadequate desk provided with the instrument.  This allows great practice space, providing room for many scores and foldouts.




15 toe studs allow for appropriate concert preparation


 There is also MIDI input and output.  I have used this console solely as a Hauptwerk controller for the last 3 years.  I will include a free copy of the Hauptwerk CUI Casavant sample set  to a full price buyer.


And the headphone jack output makes it very convenient for practicing until the wee hours.

There is a full set of internal speakers, making the instrument fully stand-alone.  For those planning to include external speakers, there are 8 channels of 100W per channel amplification, including connectors



And for those who would like to enhance the instrument, a full set of documentation including service manual/schematics is provided.


This instrument has served me well, making me far better than I would be without an instrument in my house.  I hope that you too can benefit from this advantage.  Contact me at sweelinck30@gmail.com and make me an offer.  The instrument is located in southern Orange County, California.  Shipping can be arranged.
