Organs Designed for the Home

THE SOUND OF EUROPEAN HISTORY MEETING TODAY’S STANDARDS

Johannus is one of the greatest designers and builders of digital home and church organs in the world.  The company was established by Hans Versteegt in 1968.  His mission was to make church organs affordable and accessible for a broad public.  Up until today, his mission has been the starting point of all organs designed and built by Johannus.

In addition, the company locates itself within the centuries old European church organ tradition, which facilitates a good understanding of the unparalleled dynamics of the pipe organ.  Nowhere else than in Europe is it so easy to walk into a church and be overwhelmed by the sounds of the authentic pipe organ.  This is how it has been for centuries.

In 1987, Gert van de Weerd took over the company which he then sold to his sons Marco and René van de Weerd after a period of growth.  They have led Johannus since 2009.  In recent years, the organ company has acquired a more international character, exporting its organs now to over 100 countries.
