Church of San Giuseppe, Treviso - Organ by Dell'Orto e Lanzini (1990)

The grand mechanical organ commands the rear of the church with its majestic presence, located behind the main altar on the floor of the apse. Built in 1990 by the organ builders Dell’Orto e Lanzini of Arona (NO), this instrument is the result of exceptional craftsmanship, constructed according to traditional techniques and using materials faithful to the historic organ-building tradition. Inspired by the 18th-century Alsatian organ school, it is ideally suited for the performance of French classical repertoire as well as German Baroque music, with particular attention to the works of J. S. Bach.

The console is of the window type, with fully mechanical action. It features three manuals of 51 keys each (C1–D5), with diatonic keys covered in ebony and chromatic keys in bone; the third manual, which controls the Récit division, begins at G2. The straight, parallel oak pedalboard comprises 27 notes (C1–D3). Stops are operated via pull knobs made of olive wood, arranged on columns alongside the manuals.

Wind is supplied by three wedge bellows, operable either manually or by an electric blower. Wind pressure is 70 mm on the water column, and tuning follows the unequal Werckmeister III temperament.
