The Four Organs of the Duomo
The Duomo in Verona has not one but four pipe organs! Presented here in the order that you will find them if you are following their recommended direction for the tour.
Actually there is a fifth Opus electronic organ but I didnβt photo it because itβs kind of boring. Even though one of the organs I did photo turns out to have been replaced by an Opus.
Despite having paid β¬4 for entry, I could still not find anyone who would let me have a go.
1. Chiesa di SantβElena

A small organ tucked away in the annexed church of SantβElena. Unfortunately, the Germans do not seem to have this organ in their online database and my blurry photo of the stop labels was a little incomplete, but hereβs my nearest estimate.
| Manuale | Pedale |
|---|---|
| Principale bassi | (pulldown) |
| Principale soprani | |
| Ottava | |
| Quintadecima | |
| Flauto in selva bassi | |
| Flauto in selva soprani | |
| Tromboncini(?) soprani |
2. Cornu Evangelii (1909)

This on sits on the right hand side of the main cathedral.
| I GrandβOrgano | II Espressivo | Pedale |
|---|---|---|
| Principale 16β | Bordone 16β | Contrabassi 16β |
| Principale 8β | Eufonio 8β | Bordone 16β |
| Clarabella 8β | Bordone 8β | Ottava 8β |
| Dulciana 8β | Viola 8β | Bordone 8β |
| Bordone 8β | Voce celeste 8β | Violoncello 8β |
| Ottava 4β | Ottava 4β | |
| Flauto armonico 4β | Flauto 4β | |
| XV 2β | Ripieno III | |
| Ripieno V | Oboe 8β | |
| Tromba 8β |
3. Chororgel (2007)

Iβm not convinced that the pipes in the photo are currently working - I think that they have been replaced with an Opus electronic organ with the specs below. Again, the Germans are not particularly clear on the subject.
| I GrandβOrgano | II Espressivo | Pedale |
|---|---|---|
| Bordone 16β | Flauto armonico 8β | Subbasso 16β |
| Principale 8β | Bordone dolce 8β | Gran Quinta 10 2/3β |
| Flauto a camino 8β | Principale 4β | Basso 8β |
| Ottava 4β | Flauto ottaviante 4β | Bordone 8β |
| Flauto a camino 4β | Nazardo 2 2/3β | Quinta 5 1/3β |
| Duodecima 2 2/3β | Ottavino armonico 2β | Corale 4β |
| Decimaquinta 2β | Terza 1 3/5β | Flauto 4β |
| Mixtur IV | Larigot 1 1/3β | Controfagotto 16β |
| Tromba 8β | Plein jeu II-III | Fagotto 8β |
| Chiarina 4β | Fagotto 16β | Schalmey 4β |
| Oboe 8β | ||
| Vox humaine 8β | ||
| Tremolo |
4. Cornu Epistolae (1991)

This one is on the left hand side of the church, facing the evangelii organ. Presumably so that the organists can have some kind of organ battle.
| Manuale | Pedale |
|---|---|
| Principale 8β B/D | Contrabbassi 16β |
| Ottava 4β | |
| Decimaquinta 2β | |
| Decimanona 1 1/3β | |
| Vigesimaseconda 1β | |
| Vigesimasesta 2/3β | |
| Vigesimanona 1/2β | |
| Fiffaro 8β | |
| Flauto in ottava 4β | |
| Flauto in duodecima 2 2/3β | |
| Flauto in decimaquinta 2β | |
| Regale 8β B/D |
