Description: |
Carl Schäfer (1838-1922) was the last representative of the Schäfer family of Swabian organ builders from Göppingen. In the year of his birth, his father Johann Heinrich Schäfer (1810-1887) moved from Göppingen to Heilbronn and established his own workshop there. He and and Carl Schäfer, wo received his training from his father and later took over his workshop, had soon made a name for themselves with the quality of their work. Therefore, Carl Schäfer war commissioned to build numerous new organs in the region, especially in the second half of the 19th century. The typical sound of the Schäfer organs can be described as Swabian Romantic: Orchestral and smooth. The little organ of the Frauenkirche Neckarsulm, built in 1895, is one of Carl Schäfer's late works. It features the typical Schäfer style expressive but not aggressive Prinzipal 8' and Gedeckt 8', the calm Salicional 8', the Fugara 4' that allows the organist to lead the congregational singing and a Subbass 16'. Brighter and or more powerful sounds can be created by means of Octavkoppel and Tutti. |
