Christian Müller’s success came in 1727 when he finished a three-manual organ for the Jacobijnerkerk in Leeuwarden.
In 1734 followed a rebuild of the organ in the Oude Walenkerk in Amsterdam and then in 1738 the massive organ in the Bavo in Haarlem, which, with 60 stops was only a bit smaller than the Schnitger in Zwolle.
Müller’s next major build was the organ for the GROTE KERK, BEVERWIJK [1756] which is now the most authentic larger Müller organ left.

Müller’s organs were mainly built for accompanying congregational singing, the organ in Haarlem being the exception.
This meant powerful Principal choruses, often with doubled trebles, sturdy reeds and Cornet stops and usually only one Flute stop (8’) on the Great manual of his two and three manual organs.
Christian Müller is best known for his organ in the St. Bavo in Haarlem, which at the time was the second largest instrument in The Netherlands.
Müller himself was not Dutch, but German.
He immigrated to The Netherlands and went to work in Amsterdam with Cornelis Hoornbeeck, a Dutch organ builder.
Afterward, he also worked with former Schnitger apprentice, Rudolf Garrels.
In 1720 he started his own company and got married. His wife died a year later and he immediately married again, a marriage which was blessed with eleven children.
Christian Müller’s success came in 1727 when he finished a three-manual organ for the Jacobijnerkerk in Leeuwarden.
It was his third organ in two years’ time, the other two being one-manual instruments.
