In the picture above you find a drawing of the organ, made by organ maker Reil (NL), who will be building the instrument. In the actual instrument, the organ doors will be painted in appropriate style by an artist. The design and specifications of the organ is based on research, many conversations with experts and organ builders, and of course the existing examples in Italy.
