The organ in the parish church of Kdousov was built by (according to the label on the console) Ignaz Florian Casparides in 1757. However the church itself was finished in 1775 and the organ case resembles the work of his pupil Joseph Silberbauer. It is possible that Silberbauer built the instrument using older parts by Casparides (along with certain pipework resembling Casparides' style). The instrument was modified in 1900 with the altering of the composition of the Mixtur and the addition of a Gamba 8' to the Hauptwerk. Dusan Doubek restored the instrument to its original condition in 1996. A remarkable thing is that the console is built into the Positiv.
