Bacella

This newly developed organetto replica in the size of early Gothic instruments offers all the possibilities of a sophisticated instrument:

Wide range of more than 2 octaves; very powerful and beautiful sound!

Wide dynamic range for expressive playing and exciting sound effects.

In addition, the lowest weight and at the same time high mechanical stability.

Pretentious inlay work & mosaic, carefully handicrafted from solid wood, on bellows, windchest and frame, attest a high artisan artwork of early 14th century.

A simpler frame design is also available upon request.

Following the paintings, this organetto has a simple, precisely guided button keyboard.

Large bellows, here worked as a “blacksmith’s bellows”, made of white sheepskin/cherry wood. On request with a device for quick air release of the bellows.

The decorated and engraved frame is made of beautiful, elegant and resistant cherry; oiled. Also available in other attractive types of wood.

The metal pipes are made of a tin/lead alloy; tuning sleeves made of parchment paper or metal; other material available on request.

Powerful, full overtone-rich principal sound.

Pitch: a=440Hz (or as desired) further information about tuning/tunes). Our special pipe holder offers perfect protection against the pipes.

If desired, the low pipes can be retuned using the practical, optional put-on sleeves, for example to a0, b0/h0, c1 (“Short Octave”, instead of b0, c1, c#1). For further details about sound expansion, please just ask!

The keys are, for example, made of maple, apple or elm; other types of wood on request.
