The organ of the Thomaskirche Elmshorn, built by the Rudolf von Beckerath company, is an example of successful and high-quality organ building from the 1960s.
Stylistically, instruments of this period are characterized by neo-Baroque features; the return to models of the 17th and 18th centuries (positive division, baroque stop names) is combined with a particular emphasis on an overtone-rich sound and rather narrow pipe scaling.
This instrument is crafted very solidly and its sound volume is more than adequate for the church space. As a sound tool reflecting the aesthetic development of German organ building in the two decades after World War II, it is definitely worth preserving.
