From humble beginnings Johannus Orgelbouw bv has grown to be a leading international manufacturer of high quality digital and hybrid classical organs.
Founded in 1968 by Mr Johannes (Hans) Versteegt, the first model range was launched in 1971 and over the ensuing years, the company experienced consistent high growth mainly due to the high quality sound of the organs. During this period of growth, Mr Versteegt expanded his activities into the international market and Johannus now exports to over 100 countries.
The first Johannus organ came to Australia in 1974 and is still going strong.
In 1987, the company was acquired by the van de Weerd family and to this day is still operated by the family with Marco and Rene van de Weerd at the helm.
The van de Weerd family grew the company to new heights with the introduction of real-time digital sampling technology which gave the Johannus organs a realism that was never thought possible, Bernies Music Land sold their first Johannus organ in 1992 and as export orders grew from Australia, our company was appointed in 1996 as sole Australian agents for Johannus organs and have remained so to this day.
