About this audio guide
This guide to the Mennonite church on the Binnenpad in Giethoorn follows the small organ on its balcony, from a congregation that sang for decades with no instrument to a Kampen organ builder's arrival in nineteen eleven. It brings in a plain-living Protestant community, a cost-cutting craftsman, and an amateur organ expert from Didam who took on a job as a favour. Best heard inside, facing the balcony.
