Approximately 100 of the current pipes in the organ originate from this original instrument. They belong to the oldest organ pipes in the world that can still be played.<\/p>\n<p>In 1639 a renovation of the organ was started by father and son Van Hagerbeer. Between 1994-1998 a restoration and reconstruction took place, carried out by Verschueren Orgelbouw. The Van Hagerbeer organ is the only large Dutch city organ from the 17th century still in existence that has a meantone temperament.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pieterskerk.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dispositie-Van-Hagerbeer-orgel-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download the disposition of the Van Hagerbeer organ here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n                        \n                <div class=\"btn-wrapper\">\n                \n                                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n       \n\n    <div class=\"image_entry_wrapper max\">\n                <a class=\"image_entry_image max\" href=\"#\" title=\"800x800 2013-Thomas-Hill-Stefan-Tetelepta-20[1]\" download><div class=\"image_entry_image\" style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/pieterskerk.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/01\/800x800-2013-Thomas-Hill-Stefan-Tetelepta-201-760x600.jpg');\" alt=\"800x800 2013-Thomas-Hill-Stefan-Tetelepta-20[1]\"><\/div><\/a>\n                    <div class=\"image_entry_content max\">\n                <h1>Thomas Hill organ<\/h1>\n\n                                <div class=\"imagetextfield\"><p><p>The Thomas Hill organ was built in 1883 by the famous English organ builder Thomas Hill. It still remains largely in its original condition. The organ is positioned in the southern ambulatory with the main front and keyboard at the side of the transept and the crossing. This location was selected with care. Not only is it the best location from a technical sound perspective, but there are also historical reasons: the former choir organ, which was moved to the Marekerk in Leiden in 1733, was originally located in the same spot. In 1990 the English organ from London was purchased by the Pieterskerk Leiden Foundation and was thoroughly restored in 2011 by Elbertse Orgelmakers from Soest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pieterskerk.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dispositie-Hill-orgel-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download the disposition of the Thomas Hill organ here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n                        \n                <div class=\"btn-wrapper\">\n                \n                                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n       \n\n    <div class=\"image_entry_wrapper max\">\n                <a class=\"image_entry_image max\" href=\"#\" title=\"600x600 VHB details Pieterskerk 2022\" download><div class=\"image_entry_image\" style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/pieterskerk.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/02\/600x600-VHB-details-Pieterskerk-2022.jpg');\" alt=\"600x600 VHB details Pieterskerk 2022\"><\/div><\/a>\n                    <div class=\"image_entry_content max\">\n                <h1>Organists &amp; Tuners<\/h1>\n\n                                <div class=\"imagetextfield\"><p><p>Both organs are in the care of the professionals of the Pieterskerk Leiden.
