San Pedro de Atacama

 

Church of San Pedro de Atacama

In the Church of San Pedro de Atacama, there were the remains of a small organ in the choir.

Given its appearance, it must possibly come from the late 18th century, or perhaps earlier.

The organ was a keyboard, it must have had less than 50 notes, and about 3 registers.

They may have been 8' 4' and 2'.

The photographs were taken around 1990. In the photographs you can see the shims for the 8' façade tubes. On the back you can see the bellows with the levers for pumping air, and in the last photo you can see the distributor or abregier.
