Organ nb. 20 | Organ at the James and Pauline Monson’s residence

The organ owned by Pauline and Jim Monson, both organists, originally from the United States, who settled in Jerusalem in 1960. Mr. Monson, very interested in organ-making himself, for almost forty years offered his services for repairing and maintaining many organs in Jerusalem.
The organ was constructed in 1971 by the organ maker Werner Bosch (Germany) according to the specifications given by Mr. Monson. It bears the opus number 623.
James and Pauline Monson left Israel in 1999, but their organ remained at the same address.
