Year | Builder | Opus | Activity | 1892 | Giuseppe Vedani | new organ | 1927 | Giorgio Maroni | rebuild | 1958 | Oskar Metzler & Söhne | restoration and enlargement | 1997 | Dell'Orto & Lanzini | restoration |
- The organ in Airolo was built in 1892 by Giuseppe Vedani from Varese. In 1927, Giorgio Maroni provided it with a new pneumatic mechanism. After this, the organ was put into use again with a concert by Arnaldo Galliera on December 18, 1927. The firm Oscar Metzler & Söhne restored the instrument in 1958 and expanded it with several registers, including a Trombone 16' that was taken from the former Kuhn organ (1876) of the Grossmünster in Zurich.
- The organ was restored in 1997 by the firm Dell'Orto & Lanzini. The mechanical action has been reconstructed. Some registers that had disappeared over time have also been reconstructed. Alessio Corti played the opening concert on September 17, 1997.
