That's phenomenal! But the image of the "special manual" is missing!!!

Yes, the mp3 is breathtaking. I sent an email to the composer in hope that
the organ recordings are commercially available.

Could someone please take time to elaborate on the tuning scheme of the
organ, if that can be devined from what is on the website?

That's some incredible microtonal music!

I delved up a folder of the organ, which I've seen in Den Haag several
years ago, but never heard. Unfortunately nobody informed me about the
concert last year.
Also the folder doesn't mention the tuning scheme. Only that it has 48
tones per octave and therefore makes quarter and eighth-tone steps
possible; can play classical organ music; has "optimal sound blending
of just harmonies"; can reproduce the 7th overtone and blue notes with
great accuracy. Then it's said that the just intonation (reine Stimmung)
of the pipes is supported by their configuration so they mutually influence
one another. The folder also sums up the disadvantages of equal temperament.
The keyboard looks very ergonomical with its keys of different shape, form
and different woods.
