organ listing by builder

Estampa de Nuestra Señora del Carmen

 

It has not been possible to locate data about the date of construction of this small instrument, apparently the only "self-organ" that arrived in our country.   more...



In any case, this type of instrument is typical of the last decades of the last century and first of the current one.

The construction company was Kuhl & Kleitt, from Berlin.

The organ was located in the gallery of the church and about twenty years ago it was lowered and placed near the main altar, on the left side.

Before that time it had been stripped of its "self-organ" mechanism and equipped with a disproportionately large turbine, for compressed air production.

At present it does not work, but its problems are with transmissions and mechanisms, Well, the sound material looks in good condition.
