We are a financially secure company, well capitalized with no outstanding debt, reflecting our experienced management,
worldwide sales growth, and customer satisfaction.
Johannus is first in worldwide distribution of church organs; we ship organs
to over 80 countries! Our superior manufacturing capability and technology allows our instruments to be designed and built for
particular church needs. No other manufacturer offers such diversity and flexibility.
Founded in 1968, we enjoy
a rich heritage of organ building with dedicated family ownership and long term commitment. We design and build organs of the
highest quality. While some manufacturers may have other primary interests, Johannus remains steadfast as an organ builder.
Our
organs are built by skilled Dutch craftsmen and constructed in quality hardwoods of oak, walnut and cherry. Fine craftsmanship
assures long-term beauty and durability.
We build our organs to client specifications. Even our most modest instruments
offer choice of woods, finish, music desk, keyboards, bench, and audio systems!
Johannus Opus, Sweelinck, and Rembrandt series
organs are sampled from pipe organs throughout the
Makin organs by Johannus are English in concept and design, and are sampled from English pipe
organs. These instruments feature both English Romantic and European Baroque intonations.
Monarke organs are individually
designed and built to specific client requirements. Johannus offers over fifteen hundred sampled pipe ranks from some of the
worlds most respected names in organ building, including Aeolian-Skinner, Gottfried Silbermann, Cavaillé-Coll, Henry Willis, Harrison
& Harrison, and Flentrop.
Our library of sampled organ pipes consists of American Romantic, North Germanic, French Classical,
English Cathedral, and Dutch Symphonic pipe ranks, assuring we can satisfy any musical requirement.
The state-of-the-art technology found in our top-of-the-line organs is incorporated in all our instruments. Whether your needs require an organ for a modest chapel or expansive cathedral, all our organs provide the same quality and technology.
Our technology features note-by-note sampling
of every pipe within each rank, while some manufacturers sample or record ranks in groups. For example, we sample each Mixture
rank individually rather than as a group. Our ‘real time’ sampling assures properly scaled pipes with correct tonal and harmonic
textures throughout each rank stop. Other manufacturers may ‘process’ their samples, losing the proper harmonic speech characteristics
of each individual pipe.
We use the maximum number of pitch sources for optimum pipe authenticity. In a pipe organ, every
pipe is an individual pitch and harmonic source of sound and tone. Thus, playing full organ with every stop will generate the
same independent pitches and harmonics as a pipe organ of similar tonal resources! With 32-bit sampling, including 8-bits for
expression, and a minimum sampling rate of 48kHz, our organs replicate the rich ensemble of the majestic pipe organ.
Our
organs use more DAC’s (digital to analog converters) than those of other manufacturers; up to 96 DAC’s in our standard models. DAC’s are important because they change digital sampled information into analog waveform. Digital information cannot be heard;
thus, it must be converted into waveform signal. In order to properly convert the original data into analog audio, ample pathways
must be provided. Our organs provide up to four times as many DAC’s as those of some other manufacturers. More DAC’s equal
tonal accuracy without distortion.
Sound must originate from numerous sources for optimum tonal coverage and pipe authenticity. While some manufacturers may provide only minimal audio channels, amplifiers, and speakers, our organs feature expanded channels and
increased amplification for the most satisfying tonal results.
Our exclusive Intonat software provides the capacity to tonally
voice and finish your organ on-site on a note-by-note, stop-by-stop basis to satisfy every musical and acoustical need.
All organs
by Johannus are designed to incorporate windblown pipe ranks within the tonal specification.
Our technical support is second
to none! We maintain an inventory of parts for all our organs; assuring parts and components are always readily available. We supply our worldwide dealer network via express mail, assuring prompt parts replacement.
