John Snetzler, born on April 6, 1710, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, was a renowned organ builder who moved to England with his younger brother, Leonhard. There, he became the most successful organ builder of his time. Though there are claims that he may have trained with Egedacher in Passau or Müller in Haarlem, these are unsubstantiated. It is more likely that he was trained by his cousin Johann Konrad Speisegger in Zurich around 1730. The earliest surviving instruments signed by Snetzler date to 1742 in London, where his business was already thriving by 1743. Snetzler probably specialized early in building bureau organs and chamber organs, and he collaborated on the construction of Claviorgana.
