\"Balbieriskis\"<\/p>\n

Organ and church burned in 8 August 2013.<\/p>\n

Balbieri\u0161kis organ fa\u00e7ade is analogous to not survived organ in Gaur\u0117 St. Anne’s church<\/a>.\u00a0The five-part\u00a0composition\u00a0represents the typical organ fa\u00e7ades by Vilnius organ building school \u2013 3 towers\u00a0(2 high polygon side towers and triangle tower in the centre) are connected by\u00a02 bent cells. The baroque composition of the\u00a0fa\u00e7ade was typical in the period of over 70 years; the oldest example is the organ in\u00a0Prienai church<\/a>\u00a0(1767\u20131769) and the latest – in Kantau\u010diai\u00a0<\/a>(1815) and\u00a0Eigird\u017eiai<\/a>\u00a0(1835\u20131836) churches. [1]<\/p>\n

Balbieri\u0161kis organ had a unique acoustic drum with one wooden pipe divided in the middle. Suchlike drum is assembled in the organs in Pasiene <\/a>(1765), Giedrai\u010diai\u00a0<\/a>(~1810) and\u00a0Prezma\u00a0<\/a>(1815, master\u00a0Tadeusz Abramowicz<\/a>) churches. All four organs are attributed to Vilnius organ building school; they\u00a0were built in the same period (except the\u00a0Pasiene <\/a>organ). Other common features:\u00a0analogous form of drawstops knobs in the console, the same shape of metal pipes etc.<\/p>\n

Console was on the right of organ.<\/p>\n

Pipes, windchests, action was authentic.<\/p>\n

The authentic range C\u2013c\u2019\u2019\u2019 of the organ was a representative type of Vilnius organbuilding school; it\u00a0was specific for organs in the middle of 18th. \u2013\u00a0beginning of 19th c.<\/p>\n
