Ishøj Church

In 2026, we delivered a new organ to Ishøj Church. The organ has 12 stops plus 3 alternating stops, distributed over 2 manuals and a pedal. It is situated on the floor at the west end of the nave. Manuals I and II are connected to a common windchest, to enable the use of the alternating stops. The pipes belonging to Manual II are housed in a swell box. The wind supply, comprising a folding bellow and a blower motor, is situated beneath the manual windchest.

The woodwork of the organ case is painted to match the rest of the church’s interior; however, the console area is made of lacquered ash.

The organ façade was designed in collaboration with organ builder Anders Havgaard Rasmussen. The organ case features latticework in the side panels and in the roof of the organ case (above the first manual). This allows daylight to filter down over the pipework and be reflected by prisms. The prisms are made of polycarbonate and suspended in a V-shape in rows one behind the other. The V-shaped lattice is widest at the façade and narrowest at the back wall. Overall, the latticework forms delicate, three-dimensional shapes that hang over the pipework, serving as a decorative feature or ‘filler’ for the space above the pipework.

The pipes are tuned to a moderately unequal temperament.
