Technical description and information

The instrument is entirely mechanical in both key and stop actions. The slider chests, case, pipe work and all components were manufactured directly by Metzler craftsmen under the supervision of the organ builder Joan Carles Castro (Barcelona). The instrument installation includes:[2]

– 56 stops on a three manual console and pedalboard
– Approximately 3,500 pipes, whose lengths range from 5 meters down to the shortest at 1 centimetre.
– The dimensions of the instrument are:
Height: 8.70 m
Width: 7.20 m
Depth: 4.10 m

Tonal conception

It is an instrument of interregional Baroque sound aesthetics, i.e., a well-balanced synthesis of the most significant features of the European organ schools of the Baroque era. The tonal design is based on the German Baroque style, centered in the music of J. S. Bach. However the instrument also includes bright reeds, mutations and fonds of French and Spanish character, and late Baroque elements. The voicing and tonal finishing were in charge of Andreas Metzler in consultation with the Abbey's main organist Josep Antoni Peramos, O. Cist..[2]

gollark: There really is a Wordart, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Wordart is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Wordart is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Wordart added, or GNU/Wordart. All the so-called Wordart distributions are really distributions of GNU/Wordart!
gollark: Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Wordart, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Wordart, is in fact, GNU/Wordart, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wordart. Wordart is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
gollark: It's actually GNU/Wordart, not Wordart.
gollark: The bot seems rather judgemental though, I must say.
