The original pedal keyboard, with only 18 notes, and some other features show which was conceived as an organ of accompaniment and not of execution.

It belonged to the Monastery of the Clarisas Nuns, located on Lillo Street in the Recoleta neighborhood.

In 1975-76 it was transferred to the Benedictine church by Dr. Luis González. and its brothers, with various modifications being made to its layout in 1986 and 1989.

These changes turned it into an instrument with very interesting and beautiful sound resources, as we will highlight below.
