HAR2015 is a three-manual and pedal electric action organ installed by Ruffatti Brothers in the 1200-seat Concert Hall in Harbin, in Heilongjiang province in the north of China. There are 41 stops and two sound effects (Nightingale and Zimbelstern), and 5 of the stops are unitized with other ranks (pic from builder’s website.)
The organ was announced for 2014, when the hall opened, but the installation seems to have been finished a year later. Since then, the Harbin Concert Hall has been renamed as the ‘Heilongjiang Concert Hall’, to distinguish it from the Harbin Grand Theater, completed a few years later.
