1871 Willis 3m & New "Schnitger" 3m at �rgryte Church, G�teborg, SwedenNEW! One of the world's unique organ situations exits at the resonant �gryte New Church (built ca. 1880) in G�teborg, Sweden: the 3m Henry Willis organ built for St. Stephen's, Hampstead, is intact and relocated to a large transept gallery of the �gryte Church in 1998; in the rear gallery is an astonishingly successful copy of the 3m organ completed in 1692 by Arp Schnitger for the Jacobi Church in Hamburg, the creation of a team of organbuilders, scientists, musicologists, and craftsmen of the G�teborg Organ Art Center (Go-Art) at G�teborg University. Erland Hild�n, organist of the �rgryte Church, demonstrates both organs.
