organ listing by builder

Parroquia de San Isidro

 

This ancient and beautiful temple has an organ with mechanical transmissions and a separate console, built by Oreste Carlini,   more...



possibly at the beginning of the century.

It must be counted among the oldest manufactured by Carlini, as it has a meager pedal, of only 18 notes, and the lever for operating the expressive box is placed on the side of the pedal keyboard.

Later, Carlini did not make such limited pedalboards and placed the scale to handle the expressive box in the center of the console, above the pedal.

In the church it has not been possible to obtain data on the possible date of construction.

There is also no known repairs that have been made.

What is evident is a regrettable state of terrible deterioration, clearly caused by human intervention.

Everything shows an abandonment and neglect of decades.
