New Instrument
Parish of Our Lady of Fatima
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
This organ is the smallest Lewtak Pipe Organ Builders have ever constructed. It boasts a modest ten stops and twelve ranks. This naturally makes each stop that much more important. The instrument is a tracker, with both the key action and the stop action operated via mechanical linkage. The façade is made of solid Sapele wood and adorned with handmade ornaments. The façade pipe mouths are gilded with 24 karat gold and so are the twisted ropes visible in the moldings on the case.
The organ was featured on the front cover of The American Organist magazine in December of 2020. The entire article can be found here.
