ABOUT BCJ SOCIETY

Plenum Zimbel Scharf Mixtur Sifflöte Superoktav Sesquialtera Oktav Prinzipal

The names of all BCJ Society donation programs are inspired by the stops (registers) of a pipe organ. An organ achieves its richest sound when pipes of different pitches – from the lowest to the highest – come together in accordance with the natural harmonic series. We invite you to help us bring this BCJ Organ to completion through your support.
