The Johannes de Heer VIII B-Stock is the most distinctive organ in its price range. Released to celebrate the 125^th anniversary of Joh.deHeer Music Store, this B-stock model offers a wealth of impressive features. If you are looking for a classical digital organ and do not wish to compromise on quality while still keeping an eye on price, the Johannes de Heer VIII is an excellent choice. An elegant piece of furniture with impressive sound performance and more than enough options for personalisation. Seven unique highlights define this organ.

 

 

The Johannes de Heer VIII features a carefully selected specification comprising 32 stops. All 32 stops can be played in four different sound styles: Baroque, Classical (warm Dutch), Romantic and Symphonic. A high-quality reverb function is naturally included, allowing you to vary the acoustics from a large cathedral to a small chapel.

 

 

There is no doubt that this organ offers excellent sound quality and extensive registration possibilities. Equally important, however, is how that sound is delivered to the organist, and this anniversary model excels in that area as well. With six 30-watt amplifiers and twelve loudspeakers, it is equipped with a powerful audio system. The 3D surround effect, created by speakers positioned at the bottom, sides and top of the cabinet, provides natural sound projection and outstanding tonal distribution. From deep bass tones to clear upper registers, every sound is reproduced beautifully.

 

 

A keyboard that produces mechanical noise can be highly distracting, especially when playing at lower volumes in a quiet home environment. That is why no compromises have been made on quality in the VIII, which is fitted with TP60LF keyboards. These keyboards are highly regarded by organists and are known for their completely silent operation.

 

 

An organ in a church can be heard from many different positions. Sitting directly behind the keyboards provides a very direct sound, while listening from the back of the church results in a softer character with much more reverberation. With the Virtual Player Position function, you can select where you are situated within the church, and the organ will adjust its sound accordingly. The P.C.C. is the heart of the instrument and, in addition to this feature, allows you to adjust many settings such as tremulant speed and depth, volume per division, wind reservoir simulation and more, enabling you to personalise the organ even further.

 

 

It may seem like a simple feature, but nowadays it is certainly not something to be taken for granted. A storage compartment in the organ bench provides a convenient place to keep accessories such as sheet music and headphones. The Johannes de Heer VIII includes this as standard. No clutter on or around the organ, just neatly stored accessories within the bench.

 

 

Another feature you might expect to be standard, but one that is far from common today. Naturally, the Johannes de Heer VIII includes it. A bright white LED strip illuminates the pedalboard, ensuring clear visibility while playing. It also adds an attractive finishing touch.

 

 

An organ occupies a prominent place in any room in which it is installed. The Johannes de Heer VIII is perfectly suited to become part of your interior. Large sections of the cabinet are crafted from solid oak, and the finish has been carefully executed down to the finest detail. Subtle touches, such as the wooden overlays on the swell pedals, complete the elegant appearance.
