Montecompatri, Roma

"Annibaldeschi" palace

CONTINUO ORGAN year 2015

3 stops, split in bass/treble (c#1/d1 440hz). Single manual of 54 notes ( C/f3 ), ebony cover for diatonic keys and bone for chromatic with moulding arcades for front of naturals. To be easily transported, the keyboard can be fully stored inside the case when not in use. The case is in French chestnut with some walnut elements. Other structural parts are made in Slavonian oak, as well as winchest. The sound is designed for the most versatile use of the instrument, for continuo as well as solo. The only choice of wood for the construction of the pipework (spruce, cypress, larch) had the objective of both gaining a depth merge among the stops and keeping the characteristic qualities of sweetness required for such type of instruments. The pipe scaling and voicing aimed to create a deep and rich fundamental tone, however maintaining a very clear and bright ensemble.
