Our pipe organ (761 words) |
 | Holtkamp's vision was to produce an organ for use in smaller church buildings that would give churches that rich, authentic pipe organ sound at a price that could compete with the newly-emerging electric organ. |
| The basic Portativ organ here at Faith Lutheran Church was built by the Holtkamp Organ Company in 1963, under the direction of Walther Holtkamp, Jr., with the wind chest and mechanical action sent to it in 1961 by the Metzler organ company in Switzerland. |
| Chris Holtkamp saw to it that the visual design of the new pipes complemented the design of the existing pipes, that the woods and finishes of the cabinetry were carefully matched, and that the integrity of the original Portativ was not compromised. |
