Monarke Hybrid Organ for the Mfantsipim Senior High School.

Описание: Together with our dealer Church Organs Ghana Ltd., Johannus recently installed a Monarke Hybrid Organ with 25 stops at the Mfantsipim School Assembly Hall in Cape Coast, Ghana.

Mfantsipim School is a high school in Cape Coast, Ghana. It was established by the Methodist Church in 1876 as an all-boys secondary school dedicated to fostering intellectual, moral and spiritual growth.

Its foundation name was Wesleyan High School and the first Headmaster was James Picot, a French scholar, who was only eighteen years old on his appointment.

John Mensah Sarbah, who came up with the word "Mfantsipim" stated at the opening of the school that its aim was "To train up God-fearing, respectable and intelligent lads".

There have been many influential products of the school who have served, not only the country, the continent of Africa but also continents outside Africa and many international bodies.

Alumni of the school include Kofi Annan, Nobel Prize winner and former Secretary-General of the United Nations; Kofi Abrefa Busia, former prime minister of Ghana; Joseph W.S. de Graft-Johnson, academic, engineer and politician; J.E. Casely Hayford, journalist and politician; and Alex Quaison-Sackey, diplomat.

Johannus Hybrid Organ Solutions

We are increasingly hearing about ‘hybrid’ or ‘combination organs’ in the organ world. What exactly does that mean?

A ‘hybrid organ’, is a midway between a digital and a pipe organ where some ranks are digital and others are pipe. This combination can offer your church many different advantages, the best of both worlds.

For example, you can replace an old, often worn out, console with a less expensive, digital console. You also have the option of adding extra digital stops to your current pipe organ.

As a simple example, the church pipe organ may be too small to satisfactorily lead large services and would benefit tremendously with some additional pedal stops.

Johannus Orgelbouw has been a forerunner with the development and building of ‘Hybrid Organs’ for the past 10 years. The advanced technology used for this purpose has proven to be very reliable and fast.
