Information about master Nicolaus Jantzon and his organ in the chronicle of Vilnius Bernardine monastery: positive completed on 24 March 1768, paid 100 thalers for it, oak windchest, ebony keyboard, 8 stops [1].
The archival document provides a detailed stoplist. However it is questionable because of lacking the main stop Principal 4′ that was characteristic of same size organs.
