HISTORY
Johan Niclas Cahman has been called “The Father of Swedish Organ Building”. The famous instruments which he built include the cathedral organs at Uppsala, Linköping and Härnösand. A 28-stop organ in Leufsta bruk, Uppland, is the only large instrument of his which survives.
The Cahman organ in the Church of Leufsta bruk is the most valuable historic organ in Sweden, and is also internationally one of the most unusual organ works from late baroque time. It was built 1727-28 by the organ builder Johan Niclas Cahman (1670-1737) and is mainly preserved in its initial condition. During the last decade, the need for a restoration has been actualized. Such a restoration should aim at putting the organ back to a technical full action, and eliminate actions jeopardizing the organs future as far as possible restore the initial character of the sound.
