Bohuslavice

Evangelical church

A single-manual mechanical cone instrument built byLadislav Wáša from Přerov in 1899, when the church waswas inaugurated.

The instrument is built into a pseudo-Gothic organ caseand, apart from the prospectus pipes, is preserved in its original Condition. The organist here used a system of so-called combinatory of registers, which uses one extended whistle row for two registers. Therefore, there are three register pairs and only Mixtura is separate. About organist Ladislav Wasa has not yet been able to find out more detailed informationand it seems that in Bohuslavice there is a completely uniqueinstrument of this organ builder.

In 1923 the instrument was repaired by Antonín Melzer from Kutná Hora, who also supplied the zinc prospectus whistles. Next entry about the repair dates back to 1967. In recent decades, however. The church gradually decayed and birds nested in the organ. In 2012, the church was repaired and the next step was the repair of the varhan. The work was undertaken by organ builder Bohumil Žloutek from Zásada, who restored the instrument in an exemplary manner and supplied, among other things, pewter prospectus whistles. Despite the fact that the instrument has a relatively small number of pipes, its sound is quite interesting,which is helped by the church’s excellent acoustics.
