Prag/Praha, Mutter Gottes auf dem Tein (Teinkirche)/Chrámu Panny Marie před Týnem

Johann Heinrich Mundt 1670/71

Mundt's organ set an example for the counter-reformation organ style: Reduction of reeds stops in favour of fundament stops of varying timbres. In its time it represented quite an impressive  instrument of 26 stops which, however, would have been considered rather appropriate for a small town further north in Saxony, not for the central parish of the capital city of the kingdom of Bohemia. So it also signifies the different ideas and expectation of an organ in protestant central Germany or like here in the Habsburg empire.
