Johann Heinrich Hartmann Bätz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Heinrich Hartmann Bätz (Utrecht, 1708 - ?, 1770) was a Dutch organ builder.
His instruments are stupendous, commanding the admiration of every one who hears, and even sees them. The organ of Zierikzee, which was built in 1770, had 56 voices and 3108 pipes. Bätz was paid 19,500 florins for this organ, which burned down in 1832. He erected other organs of similar magnitude in the large churches of Gorinchem, Utrecht, Woerden, Benschop, etc.
