Klais Instruments Around The World

Here is a short list naming a few of the Klais instruments around the world:

  • The Athens Concert Hall, in Athens, Greece with 6080 pipes
  • The cathedral in Aachen, Germany.
  • The cathedral in Cologne, Germany: der Kölner Dom. The main instrument was finished in 1998 and although enormous, it is almost dwarfed inside the colossal gothic church as it clings to the balconies. Klais also restored other organs in the cathedral and added a detached console that operates all of them at once.

  • The Cathedral in Trier, Germany, 5602 pipes
  • The Concert Hall of the Kraków Philharmonic, in Kraków, Poland
  • The Concert Hall of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, in Brisbane, Australia, 6566 pipes

  • St. John's, Smith Square, Westminster, UK, a redundant but still consecrated church which commissioned its organ when the building became a concert hall.

Famous quotes containing the words the world, instruments and/or world:

    “I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is “Who in the world am I?” Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it ... a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes—will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished.”
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    “They have gone about the world like wind,
    But little time had they to pray
    For whom the hangman’s rope was spun,
    And what, God help us, could they save?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
