The Deutsches Museum's organ collection ranges from floor-to-ceiling organs to positives and shelves. Many of the instruments date from the 17th and 18th centuries and thus from the lifetime of Johann Sebastian Bach. During the tour, visitors can familiarise themselves with the instruments and their sounds. A model is also used to show how a mechanical slider chest organ typical of the time worked.
