Tamburini [Fabbrica d'organi Tamburini]
1965

From the October 1966 issue of THE DIAPASON: "Windchests are mechanical with sliders. Transmission from the console (movable) is direct electric. There are five adjustable combinations (electric) for each manual and pedal, and five independent general combinations. The positivo and the recitativo are under expression, the grand'organo and the pedal are open. All the organ is enclosed in a beautiful wood case, with showing metal pipes. Wood pipes are made of the best italian spruce and the metal pipes are of 70% tin and of copper from four foot up; no zinc was used.
All the flue work, especially of the Grand'Organo and of tlle positivo, is intended to be strictly of Italian school. All the principali with ripieni, flutes and reeds are after the best Italian tradition. Sweetness, warmth and transparency are the quality of the intonation of this organ. The pronunciation (chiff) is present in an essential degree, enough to speak lively without being
aggressive. Seven different pressures are ranging from 38 mm. up to 65 mm. The installation and the tonal finishing took two months. It was completed at the end of last May. Luciano Anselmi, head tonal director of the firm, finished the organ."

In 2008, the Lévesque-Roussin organbuilding firm carried out a complete cleaning and restoration of the instrument. At the same time, Jacques L'Italien completely revised the voicing while preserving the features inherent to the Italian organ.
