Abstract
In Fusine town (Belluno, Italy), in the Church of S. Nicolò (Parish of S. Nicolò, Fusine di Zoldo, Diocese of Belluno-Feltre), there is a rare wooden organ whose peculiarity is the cylindrical pipes made entirely of wood. The work on the wooden organ, represents unique challenges for the restorers, especially with reference to the pipework, in terms of restoring the original sound, and of researching the original pitch and tuning temperament. Two organ stops are made of metal. The right composition of the lead-tin alloys provides a correct understanding about tone and sound. The present work reports the results of the study on the material (wood and metal) and of the restoration procedure.Pubblicazioni consigliate
