Johann Lachmayr

Johann Lachmayr (* 24 February 1850 in Kremsmünster; † 28 May 1915 in Linz-Urfahr) was an Austrian organ builder.

Life

Lachmayr ran an organ-building workshop in Urfahr, which is documented to have built or rebuilt more than 60 organs. Among other things, he rebuilt and extended the organ of Schlägl Abbey in 1904, but it was dismantled again in 1948.^[1]
