Frobenius Orgelbyggeri was founded in Copenhagen by Theodor Frobenius in 1909. Theodor's sons Walther and Erik joined the company in 1944, at the same time that they began to build organs in the classical tradition, with mechanical actions and slider windchests. They build organs with characteristic modern casework, usually arranging the pipework of each manual such that three to six repeating arrangements of front pipes are shown in the faade. Theodore died in 1972 at the age of 87. His tradition lives on and our organ, installed in 1980, is considered to be one of the best in Cambridge.
