Work on the organ in the concert hall of the Danish State Radio led to the decision of giving the Jægersborg organ a chamade trumpet; too. Originally Rankett 16' stood in the Hauptwerk, but when the horizontal trumpet was added, the Compenius-inspired Rankett was moved to the Brustwerk, at the same time adding Cymbel 1'. Because of acoustic problems, several stops of the Brustwerk had to be changed in order to make the werk sing with the proper ''delicate sharpness.'' The Pedal had a Regal 4' instead of Spidsfløjte 4', and only three weeks before the inauguration the shape of the resonators of Fagot 16' was decided.<br>
You could want string stops and a tremolo in the organ, and a greater richness of flute stops than as much as four Gedakt-stops. But the idea of the organ first and foremost was to be a counterpart of the 19th century romantic instruments, and to create the strongest possible contrast between the four werks. Unfortunately there was no room, or money, for more Pedal stops, or for a Sesquialtera.<br>
Scaling and voicing were, on Viderø's initiative, inspired by Spanish organbuilding and by the Stellwagen organ in Lübeck, but the organbuilders adapted the stops to the acou-stics acoustics of the church room (viz, Jægersborg Church is not a Spanish cathedral). Viderø thought that the Stellwagen organ had an especially soft intonation, but probably this was also due to a romantic re-intonation, made before his visit in 1929. In Jægersborg the so-called „nicks“ (small vertical grooves at right angles to the flue) were used only sparsely, and voicing with open pipe toes had not yet come into use. These voicing devices later became a dogma that marked the Danish Organ Reform Movement, and resulted in organs that sometimes had so hard a sound that the audience, in the words of organ-consultant Rung-Keller, ''ought to wear sunglasses on their ears.''<br>
Besides, P.-G. Andersen pragmatically had subdued the organ house of the Brustwerk with celotex-plates, that later were removed, however.<br>
Nowadays, when you hear the organ in Jægersborg Church, you will observe its bright and clear sound that after all is without aggressiveness. Even if it does not sound particularly strongly, the sound of chamber music on the other hand merges so well that the stops can be used in all combinations imaginable – the objective for any skilled intonator.<br>
