organ listing by builder

This instrument was built in 1875 by the famous Walcker house, in Germany. It constitutes its Opus 301, according to the record that the builders left on the keyboard manual.   more... In 1975, the association of organists of Chile celebrated the centenary of this instrument, the first - and the best, so we believe - Walcker organ installed in Chile. On that occasion, we had the opportunity to play this noble instrument for the last time. In 1974 a change was made in the registration of the organ thanks to a donation from the Adveniat Organization of Germany. The Organ of the Augustinian Church was declared a Historical Monument on November 24, 1977. In July 2004, the date on which this clarification was added, this is the only body in Chile that has that distinction.
