Cor Edskes

Dutch organ builder, restorer and organist Cornelius H Edskes was born at Groningen on 7 August 1925, where he was organist of the Doopsgezinde Gemeente for much of his life.

He was interviewed in the Martinikerk Rondeau documentary, released in 2009, talking about the history of organs in the Groningen area.
