| Fridrik Karol Sztrampler | 1848 | 1 manual, 13 stops |
Church and organ not survived.
In 1848, organ built by master Fridrik Karol Sztrampler from Tauragė. Name of the master and organ stoplist mentioned in the 1848 contract for new organ with 13 stops [1].
According to contract, the small – one manual – organ must have even two free reed stops Trompete and Vox humana. The only analogue survived in Lithuania – organ in Žemalė church (1839). No examples of small organ with a combination of two free reed stops found even in neighbour countries. A rare case was detected a distance away in Sweden: organs in Jonsered (1783), Kråkshult (1811), Svenarum (1798), Västerlösa (1801) or Hycklinge (1810) built by master Pehr Schörlin (1736–1815) from Linköping [2].
