The Boezemkerk was founded in 1957.
The organ was commissioned in 1960.
The organ was built by Willem van Leeuwen Gzn, an organbuilder in
Leiden, using the purely mechanical VEKA windchest-system.
The organ has 18 speaking stops.
The organ is viewed as a good mechanical instrument, built along
generally accepted norms of that period. Considering the specification
as well as the construction year one would expect a neobaroque organ,
but that's not the way the organ sounds. It has its own characteristic
sound.
The organbuilder called it "the red organ" because the colour of the
organ case.
Technical information
Tuning: a' = 440 Hz.
Transmitting system: The organ action is completely mechanical with
VEKA-system windchests.

General
Installing a sampleset
Before download and install, note the following:
1. Download all .CompPkg.Hauptwerk files.
2. Leave these files in the same folder and
3. Do not change the file names and
4. Do not unpack by hand.
5. Check the MD5 checksums with the WinMD5 program, free to download
from
http://www.winmd5.com
or http://www.fastsum.com If a checksum is incorrect, discard the wrong download file
from the PC and download that file again.
6. Start Hauptwerk (File/Install organ....), select in the folder where
you just downloaded the files,
the file with extension .CompPkg_Hauptwerk_rar in Hauptwerk's 'component installer'.
Hauptwerk automatically finds the other files.
7. If you get error messages, scroll to the end of the log file (this
opens automatically if something goes wrong when unpacking) to see
what goes wrong.
Usually a file is missing, or there is a file in the wrong folder or
a file is damaged.
8. Before loading the sampleset, check the
system information
regarding the expected memory usage etc.
Note: Please contact us via the
Contact form if you encounter any
issues; we will try to assist you.
System requirements
Van Leeuwen Boezemkerk Bolnes
a modern fast computer with e.g. Windows 10 64 bit and up to 3 or
3.7 GB RAM
a good internal or external sound card
1 manual/keyboard with (at least 25 keys) pedal òr a complete
electronic organ with MIDI out
good quality speakers /headphone
The computer
To play the full version of this sample set without restrictions
requires a modern, fast computer.
Obviously Hauptwerk must also be installed with the latest version 5
(or higher) Advanced.
It is said that the best results are achieved using Apple-MacIntosh
computers; however, we have no experience with this. It is difficult
to make exact statements about what is needed. The "mother" website
hauptwerk.com
provides much information about this issue.
Prerequisites .
This virtual Van Leeuwen organ can be downloaded.
Below is a Table of memory usage .
On other systems, these values can vary considerably!
Please note that your Operating System also requires considerable
memory.
The sound card
A good internal or external sound card. For more information go to:
hauptwerk.com .
Manuals/keyboards/pedal òr complete organ with MIDI out
1 manual/keyboard and a (at least 25 keys) pedal òr a complete
electronic organ with MIDI out.
Beautiful consoles specifically designed for Hauptwerk are
commercially available.
In the Netherlands these are available through, for example,
Those who are technically inclined can provide their keyboard with
MIDI capability using hardware from, for example,
MIDI-Hardware.com
. We ourselves have
done this using a Heyligers organ dating from around 1975 (using WIRA
hardware). The conversion was about 300 Euro and everything has worked
perfectly for years.
Speakers/headphone
The superb sound quality of Hauptwerk is best experienced through
high-quality headphones, such as AKG or Sennheiser.
We prefer connecting the sound card to a (possibly multi-channel)
sound system. The above mentioned companies can also advise you on any
purchases in this area.
What you definitely should not do is listen to Hauptwerk
through the built-in speakers of the monitor or a set of €10 computer
speakers!
