Combination organs
Several organ builders are building combined instruments, e.g. some stops are made with pipes and others are made with electronics. This concepts is widely used in Germany, UK and the US. Up to now these companies have been using a traditional loudspeaker technology with the consequence that the electronic and the pipe part of the organ will not join to a harmonic unity.When using the Danish hybracoustic sound reflectors the combination of the sound may be absolute. The advantage of these combination instruments may be that an existing small pipe organ with 10-20 stops may be extended for a reasonable price.
The disadvantage is that the instrument will still demand the same maintenance and repair costs as a traditional pipe organ (the sensibility to changes of air humidity and temperatur will be the same as for a traditional pipe organ).
Existing traditional excellent pipe organ in Buddinge church, Copenhagen, extended from 18 stops to 42 stops
Originally 18 pipe stops (1971)
extended with 24 hybracoustic stops (2002)
