This is beautiful, though here in the UK organs like this are two-a-penny - I never tire of playing them though, there is a church near me that has a pretty unique organ that was built for a private mansion in London - excellent sound but the bass is lacking...

Tuffa, what a great sound.

Wow . This is the real deal here. I love the tone of this fine organ.
This was short but still nice.

Here's a hint: Google 'italian organ rochester', and the top two results will give you just what you are looking for. It's a spectacular organ, but I don't think it's from Pisa...

Ehi, can you tell me too anything on this organ, on personal message? It seems a very interesting instrument!

" but the camera card was full."
Dang, hate when stuff like that happens :(
Thanks for sharing. It is a special treat for me as I build organs myself and have a special interest in Italian organs and their composers. It is too bad that something like this has to be kept a secret. I am "translating" rare 16th C. Italian organ music into something readable and wish I could play them on this organ. What a wonderful sound. Thanks again.

It's not really a secret, I just didn't want to get the guard in trouble. Since it's been quite a while since I was there, I'll share with you that the organ is in an art museum in Rochester, NY. That and a trip to Google ought to get you where you want to go...

I can't think of ANY other organs like this one in the US.
