In Chilean musical iconography by Samuel Claro Valdés, 1988, vol. I, p. 9, plays a photograph of the pipes of this instrument, with the legend "CMA Renaissance organ pipe (Ancient Music Ensemble of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile) the 1st and unique in Chile, Spanish organ making (sic)".

It has been reported that it has not been touched for about 15 years.
