Organ of the Basilica of St. Martin

The organ features 63 stops and 6890 pipes distributed across seven sections, with multiple towers designed to accommodate various pipe sizes.

Joseph Gabler constructed this monumental instrument between 1737 and 1750, following the destruction of an earlier organ built by Martin Rück in 1532.

The organ contributes to religious services and concerts in the Basilica, with its mechanical key and stop action requiring specific playing techniques.

Regular maintenance ensures the preservation of the organ's mechanical components, including the console with ivory stop knobs and intricate inlay work.

The organ's design incorporates special features like the Cuculus, Rossignol, and timpani stops, along with carillon bells arranged above the console.
