Who cleansed the churches of Zurich and nailed closed the organs?

Answer 1

Ulrich Zwingli, a key figure in the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland, was responsible for cleansing the churches of Zurich and nailing closed the organs. He sought to reform the church by removing practices he deemed corrupt and idolatrous, which included the elimination of music in worship services. This action reflected his emphasis on scripture and preaching over ritual and ornamentation in religious practice.
