the chilean organ catalogue

Parroquia de Nuestra Seņora de la Divina Providencia

 

Among the Italian instruments installed in Chile, the one in the church of this parish is the only one we know whose registration has the characteristics   more...



and the nomenclature of classical Italian organ building.

It was built by the Casa Giuseppe Bernasconi of Varese, Milan.

The date of 1881 that appears on the plate, in the console, seems to correspond to the year of foundation of the factory, but, in any case, the characteristics of this body would allow us to date it to that time - the end of the last century, rather than the beginning of current century.
