AN ORGAN IN SWITZERLAND
We are pleased to share details about our latest organ installation at the Church of Saints Peter and Vincent Martyr in Tenero, Ticino, Switzerland. This beautiful 18th-century monument now features a new two-manual organ with a pedal board and twelve sound registers.
Our phonic proposal for this instrument prioritized versatility. We aimed to create an organ perfectly suited for liturgical services, yet also capable of delivering a delicate and mellow sonority for concert performances, complementing the acoustics of the church.
The organ case is crafted from chromatically treated oak, giving the wood a subtle hue that harmonizes with the church's soft colors and the metal elements of the compass. The facade features five bays of sounding perspective pipes, all part of the 8' Principal of the Great Organ. The oak console, currently situated beside the compass, has been specifically designed to align with the instrument's aesthetic, with the stop knobs thoughtfully arranged next to the keyboards.
The organ case is made of chromatically treated oak in order to give the wood a hue that matches the soft colours of the church and the metal elements of the compass; the perspective pipes, all sounding and divided into five bays, belong to the 8′ main register of the Organ Gr. The oak console, currently located next to the compass, was designed in relation to the instrument's aesthetic peculiarity with the knob registers arranged next to the keyboards.
