Vissandone, opus 2

The new organ for the church dedicated to S. Michele Argangelo in Vissandone (Ud - Italy) has been delivered at the end of January 2015. The instrument is clearly inspired by the venetian school of the XVIII century, with all its peculiarities, but has been enhanced with some features that permit the execution of a wider repertoire, as well as to be confortable for the acompaniment of the congregation and choirs, as specifically requested by the committance.

The keyboard of 58 notes (C₁-a₅), the pedalboard of 30 notes (C-f), the generous Subbass (30 pipes, without the traditional repetition) and the wooden Bordun in the manual bring the sonoroties and the capabilities of this organ, in dispite of its dimentions, to the next level. The round and full Principal, the Ripieno family large and definite, though not aggressive, the colours of the Cornetta (third) and Flute in XII (fifth), the clear and full Flauto in Ottava, the delicate Bordun with its spiccato speach are just some aspects that put this instrument in full connection with the best italian tradition and at the same time versatile and friendly for the modern times.
