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.
- St. Peter's church in Munich, Germany
- 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:
“Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. Bribery and corruption are common. Children no longer obey their parents. . . . The end of the world is evidently approaching. Sound familiar? It is, in fact, the lament of a scribe in one of the earliest inscriptions to be unearthed in Mesopotamia, where Western civilization was born.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Fashionable women regard themselves, and are regarded by men, as pretty toys or as mere instruments of pleasure; and the vacuity of mind, the heartlessness, the frivolity which is the necessary result of this false and debasing estimate of women, can only be fully understood by those who have mingled in the folly and wickedness of fashionable life ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (17921873)
“What an infernal set of fools those schoolmarms must be! Well, if in order to please men they wish to live on air, let them. The sooner the present generation of women dies out, the better. We have idiots enough in the world now without such women propagating any more.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (18151902)
