Berlin, Dom





This postcard features the instrument in the Dom (Cathedral) in Berlin, Germany. The instrument was completed in 1905 by the Sauer firm of Frankfurt, and at the time had 113 ranks of pipes, nearly 7300 pipes total. The organ endures today in its original condition, without significant changes due to changing tastes and additions. It was designed to be and remains a dramatic example of late-Romantic organ-building.
