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.

Noble, pretentious inlays and mosaics in real wood on the casing, bellows and wind chest testify to the high craftsmanship of the 14th century.

A simpler frame design is of course 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 ventilation 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 slipping out, even when transported horizontally.

If desired, the low pipes can be retuned using the practical, optional clip-on rings, for example to a0, b0/h0, c1 (“Short Okatve”, instead of h0, 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.
