Morlanda (Drust Island)

The Morlanda organ is one of the oldest still playable in Scandinavia. Its very small size saved it from the many modernising ideas of later centuries. The oldest stops form a nucleus of 8’, 4’, 2’ and (parts of rank Rör Flögt/chimney flute) 1’. The stops of 1715 probably enhanced this nucleus with alternatives (Principal 4’ to Flögt 4’; Gemshorn 2’ to Octava 2’), fifths/compound stops (Qvinta 3’ and Sesqvialtera 2f.) and a fundament (Principal 8’, treble only because of lack of space). So the two essential building periods of the instrument represent the organic growth of an instrument over the centuries.
