In 2026, we once again offer all organ enthusiasts a unique feast for the eyes: the fascinating images of photographer Jenny Setchell are beautifully showcased in the new calendar. Once again, 13 organs from different periods and regions in Germany are presented.

Designed in a handy A4 format, the organ calendar features a practical monthly overview below each image with plenty of space for notes, appointments and personal ‘memorial days’. This calendar is sure to be a welcome companion throughout the year for all organ and church music lovers!

Playing the organ with no previous experience on the piano – unthinkable! Unthinkable? The seasoned organ teacher Carsten Klomp challenges this misconception with his new organ course for beginners that requires no previous theoretical or practical knowledge. Now available in English, translated and adapted by Andrew Sims.

The question is: how to pass the time? - The answer: It's in this book!
“Enigmatic Variations - Puzzles for Musicians” is a light-hearted but beautifully presented book of brain-teasers, entertaining puzzles, logic problems, crosswords, codes, spot-the-difference, wordsearch, letter drop and more. All these musically themed mind-benders will appeal to those who spend time waiting to perform, teach, or rehearse – or simply, anyone who enjoys puzzles. The book can be slipped into a music case and the pages folded back for easy use. The answers and grids to help solve logic problems and cryptic crossword puzzles are available online.

Here's a book two kinds of people have been waiting for:
a) organists, b) non-organists.
Organists won’t be able to stop laughing, and will be grateful for the way a famous author understands their joys and sorrows.
And the interested non-organist will get surprising answers to everything about the organ and those who play it – answers that will completely and forever change the way they see a supposedly "boring" instrument.
The book offers few words, but more than 450 fascinating photos and new cartoons.
It is the ultimate humorous declaration of love to the "King of Instruments"!

Price: € 32.00 (hardcover, 180 x 180 mm format, 416 p., more than 400 full-colour photos and cartoons)
