It always amaze me how old baroque organ having few stops can produce various pretty sounds. The high notes ring beautifully, not screaming horribly.

Similar organ is found in Croatia, in old church in Radovan, made in 17th century. It's amazing how so much sound comes from that old instrument.

Such a fascinating presentation ! I am an organist and everthing l hear and see whets my appetite. Most of those stops are unknown to me , but most organs are different in some way or another.Tone is magnificent and the mutations add to the excitement .I would love to look inside the chamber. Congratulations all of you !!

These more than 200 years old organs have such a nice, bright, strong, but smooth tone. I must admire work of organ builders from these times. Have you some videos from concerts on this instrument?

It's still possible to find organ of this type, in Italy. I play costantly one of these: an organ made by Tommaso Vajola in XVI-XVII, sited in Collelongo (AQ), in Abruzzo region.

Beautiful organ but with some "eclectic" strangeness. It seems to me a modern patchwork of diferrent italian regional "stili" and periods: 1) The drawknobs are made with a thick, inner neck made by wood. This is typical for a french or german organ but it's a fake for a tipycal renassaince-baroque italian organ, not only for italian classics with spring chests but also for those with slider chests. They have EVER IRON WIRES not wood; 2) The "Flauto in XVII" (sic!) is another FAKE. Classic italian organs NEVER LOVED THIRDS. We find thirds (flute) in Italy (in Rome or in central italy) only in the late XVII cent. brought by the dutch orgabuilder Willem Hermans or by the italian-slesian Eugenio Casparini. They knew the italian "taste" and made the "tierce" as a "registro di concerto" but they named it "cornetta" or "voce di cornetto" OUT THE RIPIENO only as an odd stop. So the "in XVII" was probably badly put by Gerhard Wohel as a kind of "tierce separeé" a la Gottfried Silbermann... We find a "cornetto" (3 ranks) in Rome, in the late XVIII, built by the german Johann Conrad Woerle as a discant stop ever coupled to the treble "tromboni" only for the porpouse to reinforce the high notes of this reed ; 3) "Voce Umana" belongs to the late XVII cent. venetian organ (also to the neapolitan school) not to this Tuscan one; "Tromboncini" also are typically "venetians"

Who probably owned this organ and why would they sell it for scrap? When I look at it, I think it must have been in a private chapel for a wealthy person..200 years latter, post WWII Italy, maybe they were thinking like the rest of the west "Out with the old, in with the new" and it got sold off because they converted the chapel into some other type of room and the organ was in the way.

This has beautifull TONAL qualities you don't often hear in an Italian organ. They are often bold, brash and brassy ,this doesn't sound like that . It is kind of like a lovely lovely old port wine, well developed and rounded full and beautifull merging baroque and medieval TONAL qualities to get a richness in tones not played elswhere. These old organs must be conserved for the future.

Hey man, what's up with you? Have you aver played an italian romantic organ in real life? You're invited to play the one I usually, a De Lorenzi from 1843, then we'll speak about it. The last time an organist visited it he was stunned and that it was one of the organs he've played!

This instrument is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, both aestetically and in the sound. I'm quite sure it belongs to the southern Italian organ-building school (probably from Sicily), judging from its case and narrow front pipes. The stops, however, reflect the xviii century Venetian school (Nachini, Callido...). Giovanni Pradella reconstructed the Tromboncini anyway.

Matt S. The "Tromboncini" it's indeed a regal stop, the resonators are quarter-lenght (C1 being 2 foot long), usually built on metal, square sectioned with a small upside down cone on the top. Having such short resonators it's pretty much a nightmare to keep them in tune.
