Kney was born and raised in a German cathedral town long known for organ building; he learned his trade there and eventually moved to Canada, starting his own business as an organ builder, where he has specialized in organs with mechanical action.
This organ is an ideal choice for Bach, not too large, and not located in a cavernous, over-resonant space, with wonderful clarity, articulation, and beauty of tone (no tonal hardness, steeliness, or edginess is ever to be heard from it).
