Historical information

Built in 2004 by Eppo Rynke Ottes (1941-5-8 - 2021-4-20)


The Organ History of Móstoles.

According to the chronicler Luis Zapata (1526-1595) the church in Móstoles already possessed an organ "the great organ in Móstoles has 21 different stops such as flutes, regals, trumpets, a cornet, a nightingale and tremulants."
In 1550, Phillip II along with the bishop visited the organ in Móstoles and declared it to be "the most beautiful in his kingdom." The sound especially impressed him.
In 1640 the mayor of Alcorcon wrote "the organs in Móstoles function perfectly."
The organ built in 1777 had deteriorated badly by 1816. The instrument was out of tune and essentially unplayable. It was repaired by Ramon Sanchez in 1895 who replaced around 60 missing pipes with new ones. After that, not much is known about the fate of this beautiful instrument. The old organ was likely lost in 1936 during the Spanish civil war.


The new organ in Móstoles

With respect to form, the new organ is adapted to the current, rebuilt interior. The organ case has been treated by the tempera technique, and profiles are gilded.
The decorations are in part derived from the altar and offering table. The organ has 21 stops as did the instrument from around 1550.
The organ is built in the classical style and is equipped with mechanical key and stop action.
The organ case is of solid wood with panels and the wind chest is made of solid oak.
The wind system consists of a wedge-bellows for Great and Pedal and a small hanging wedge-bellows with tremulant for the Brustwerk (Organo Expresivo).
Metal pipe work has a composition of 60% tin to prevent large tuning excursions during temperature changes; in addition the pipes are cut to length.
Stopped pipes are constructed of 75% hammered lead. The wooden pipes of the lowest octaves are made of pine and oak. The Fagot 16 pedal stop is constructed with boots and resonators of solid oak.
Of particular interest is the horizontal Trumpet with shallots of cherry wood which gives a nice round, non-metallic sound.

About the builder of the new organ in Móstoles.

Eppo Rynko Ottes (born in 1941 in Groningen) has already worked for 45 years as an organ builder and during this time has worked on new instruments, and the restoration and voicing of over 200 organs in Europe and Asia.
He is known for his subtle and artistic voicing artistry.

Experience
Already at the age of fifteen, he and a friend visited Dutch, German and Scandinavian organs.
From the age of six, he studied piano and organ with Wim van Beek, organist at the Martinikerk in Groningen, and after that with Finn Videro in Copenhagen.
After an apprenticeship with three Dutch organ builders and the study of more than 300 famous historic organs in Groningen and Oost-Friesland, he started his own business in 1964 in Roden (Dr.)
Because of the lack of housing in the Netherlands, he moved to Denmark. As manager at Troels Krohn (Hillerod) and in cooperation with Poul Gerhard Anderson and Marcussen/Kopenhagen he completed many instruments.
After an organ builder in Germany offered him a position as head voicer and organ facade designer, he worked there for a few years and as a free lancer he worked jointly with a variety of builders.
In 1978 he continued his own business close to the Swiss border and also worked together with international organ builders.
In 1990, he moved to Spain where he worked in conjunction with Spanish builders and under his own direction completed new instruments and carried out (international) restorations.
New organs in Spain include, amongst others, Premia de Dalt, Torreciudad and Móstoles

Technical information

Wind pressure OrganoMayor/Pedaal: 78 mm
Wind pressure Organo Expresivo: 67 mm
Tuning: a' = approx. 440 Hz.
Temperament: Unequal temperament "Ottes" (Included with this sample set: Temperament "Mostoles")
Tremulant:
the tremulant affects the Organo Expresivo.
The tremulant was recorded as an integral part of each voice. The beat is arrived at by playing a normal sample modulated by the waveform derived from the tremulant samples.
Zweltrede:
Swell pedal: the organ has a swell pedal that affects the Organo Expresivo.


The pallet system used in this organ

Pallet as found in the organ in Norrlanda The upper part of the photograph shows the topside of the pallet with a groove over which the valve leather has been glued. The lower part shows a small hole drilled through the underside.
mostoles_20.jpg
X marks a small opening drilled through the pallet via wich the organ wind can get underneath the leather.

When the space under the pallet leather fills with wind, teh pallet makes an absolutely tight seal against the channel (see the figure on the right). This has great advantages with respect to the attack and decay of the pipe's speech. This principal was already being applied during organ building in the gothic period of the 14th century. On the left you can see an image the organ in Norrlanda Sweden where this type of pallet construction was already being used.

System requirements
of
the Ottes organ in Móstoles



The computer

To play the full version of this sample set without restrictions requires a modern, fast computer with, for example, Windows 10 64 bit installed and around 12 GB of RAM.
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
.
Please note: This information applies to the newest version of Hauptwerk.
This virtual Ottes 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

2 manuals/keyboards 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 or MGB . 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!

Please Note: the coupler Organo Expresivo to Organo Mayor has been added for Hauptwerk users with a two manual console. Drawing this coupler automatically deactivates manual I.
The gold coloured area labelled C5 indicates which combination piston was last pushed.

Underneath you can see two images of the bellows. We have made use here of actual video footage so that one sees the actual movement of the bellows.
Both bellows are spring loaded wedge-bellows with the one for the Organo Expresivo being mounted upside down.
