This restored central Italian organ has 9 stops. The sound of this colourful instrument is majestic and full of radiance. Two French doors painted with floral decoration and vines flank the sides of the instrument, which is still in its original colour scheme. The keyboard, whose lower keys are covered with boxwood and sharps with ebony, has a range of 4 octaves (including a short octave).
There are two inscriptions inside the instrument:
