Große Orgel, Renaissance pipe organ in St. John's Church, Lüneburg, Germany

The main organ features three manuals with 51 stops, accompanied by a separate choir organ containing 23 stops within the Gothic hall church.

Hendrik Niehoff and Jasper Johansen constructed the organ in 1553, transporting it from 's-Hertogenbosch through Amsterdam and Hamburg to its destination.

Georg Böhm, who taught Johann Sebastian Bach, served as organist at St. Johannis and supervised modifications to maintain the organ's tonal qualities.

The instrument combines original Renaissance elements with modern requirements, allowing performances of various musical styles in the church's regular program.

The organ contains 844 pipes and incorporates components from 1951 Steinmann instrument alongside new pipes from Stinkens Pipe Manufacturers in Netherlands.
