Organo di S. Andrea, Pipe organ in St. Andreas Church, Soest, Germany
The organ of St. Andreas contains 326 pipes, with numerous original components dating from the medieval period still functioning in the present structure.
Built between 1425 and 1431, this pipe organ first served the Church of Old St Thomas before its relocation to Ostönnen in 1721 by Johann Patroclus Möller.
