ORGAN CONSTRUCTION

Locomotion

The construction of this organ started in 2003 by the company Johnny Verbeeck in St. Job in 't Goor in Belgium. It will become a multifunctional organ, that will be deployed for concerts along with the Victory. The Locomotion is a very compact organ. It can be placed in our truck and will be able to play directly from the loading arm.

A special trailer for this organ is also being developed, equipped with a special loading and unloading system. It will be possible to let the organ play directly from the trailer, but it can also be unloaded quickly and set-up to play somewhere inside a building.

A unique feature of the Locomotion is that it is equipped with all the necessary street organ registers like a violin, undamaris, bourdon, cellest and a cello. Next to that the organ also has all dance organ registers like Jazz flute, piston, banton and wooden zylophone.

Also unique is that the sound level of this organ, can, just as with the Victory, be adjusted to match the environment.

The repertoire will, just as with all of our organs, be very big. This organ will be controlled in a conventional way, with hole-punched cardboard books, but this can also be done digitally. Of course, operating it by hand will remain possible too.

The disposition of the Locomotion will be as following:
73 key street/danceorgan

24 zang Bourdon/viool/Undamaris/Jazz flute/Piston met helper/houten xylophone
12 tegenzang Cellest/Cello/Bariton met helper
10 Accompagnementen 2x gedekt
8 bassen 2x gedekt
volledig slagwerk met grote trom/kleine trom/los bekken/woodbloc/sambashaker

Victory

In the first half of the year 2003, the biggest transportable concert organ in the world is introduced in Breugel. This is a newly built 118 key concert organ with about 24 registers. The project uses narrow cooperation between the company of Johnny Verbeeck organ construction from St. Job in 't Goor, and the company RBA-Verhuur from Breugel.

Under own management, a special isolated aluminum trailer has been built, which can be placed and deployed fully hydraulically. A 15 KW power generator which provides the electrical propulsion and required show lighting has also been built in.
