The Organ

We sampled one of the finest pipe organs in Italy, a Mascioni opus 618, recorded at the Church of Santa Maria Mediatrice in Rome, using the most advanced sampling techniques.

Mascioni is an Italian company, founded in 1829, renowned for crafting high-quality pipe organs.

One of the most famous organs built by Mascioni is the grand pipe organ in Milan’s Duomo, the largest in Italy and one of the largest in Europe.

This monumental instrument, crafted with great precision, is renowned for its power, complexity, and rich tonal palette, making it a landmark in the world of organ building.

The opus 618 Organ features 55 stops across three manuals and pedal, meticulously sampled to capture the full richness of the instrument.
