Editing Arp Schnitger (section)

==Legacy==
Organs like these are credited with inspiring the renaissance in organ building during the early twentieth century, with a return to tracker action and smaller, more cohesive instruments, as distinct from the late-Romantic trend of extremely large symphonic organs. In particular, the organ at the Jacobikirche, Hamburg, played a pivotal role in the [[organ reform movement]] beginning in 1925, as a series of conferences taking place at historical organ sites in Germany and Alsace was inaugurated there. 

A number of Schnitger's organs were featured on recordings by [[E. Power Biggs]], who is generally credited with reintroducing them to modern listeners. More recently, Schnitger's organs can be heard on several recordings by German organist [[Harald Vogel]]. Schnitger's instruments in Groningen, Uithuizen, Noordbroek and Nieuw Scheemda were featured in the documentary ''[[Martinikerk Rondeau]]'', in which [[Jürgen Ahrend]], [[Cor Edskes]] and [[Bernhardt H. Edskes ]] detail Schnitger's life and demonstrate his working methods. Schnitger's organs have also served as inspiration for many modern builders; [[GOArt]], a Swedish organ building consortium, has even gone so far as to build an exact copy of a Schnitger organ for research purposes.<ref>{{cite web|url=   http://www.arpschnitger.nl/nl/edskes.html|title= Betekenis van Arp Schnitger en de totstandkoming van zijn orgels|publisher= arpschnitger.nl
