organ listing by builder

San Vicente de Paul

 

This organ, with mechanical transmissions, was built by Oreste Carlini possibly in the 1910s.   more...



The base of the first keyboard is marked "1908", and the base of the second keyboard has the indication 1922.

The second keyboard has pneumatic assistance.

Due to the structure of its console and the arrangement of its record handles - the latter only analogous to the organ of the Monastery of the Poor Clare Nuns, today in the Benedictine Abbey -, it is likely that it is one of the most antiques from the Italian organ builder located in Chile.

It is currently fully functional, since it was completely restored and installed. to 440Hz tuning in September 2001, by Luis Gonzáles and his brothers.
