This small instrument of mechanical transmissions was built by the House of Merklin,
possibly in the penultimate or last decade of the last century,
for the Las Carmelitas church on Independencia Avenue, in Santiago.
Until 1963 it was preserved in perfect condition, according to the opinion of the teacher Julio Perceval,
who proposed its purchase by the Faculty of Musical Sciences and Arts of the
University of Chile.
It was dismantled in 1964 and kept in drawers at the home of the organ builder Mr. Willem van Lankeren.
Years later it was moved to the basements of the National Conservatory,
where it remains to this day.
The efforts of teachers and students to get it installed have been in vain.
