The registers are characterized singularly and proportioned according to the organist’s preference, thus creating a pleasing mix of bass/soprano divisions on all the registers that adds versatility to the instrument, allowing optimal execution of most repertories of musical styles.

The Chest Organ , like all organs from the Pradella Bottega, is constructed with a dedication to detail, from the simplicity and logical internal workings that allow extremely easy tuning of the registers, to the luxurious hand crafted finishing of external components.

Its compact dimensions, the two-piece construction, along with the wheeled support, make the instrument truly manageable, able to be transported in many types of vehicles, very simply and easily unloaded.

The customer can select the finish of the casing and keyboard, choose the inlays and any decoration.  The casing and keyboard can be constructed of various woods: oak,  walnut, etc. 

The Pradella Chest Organ  is a precious instrument, unique and personalized.
