Testimonial
Copeman Hart was chosen by the Parish Council of the new church in Pregassona, on the recommendation of their organ consultant, as being the only company who could design and build an instrument with authentic Italian voicing and realise the very special and particularly flexible
tonal design.

"This is the best pipe organ in Canton Ticino."        Roberto Dickmann Swiss Radio and Music Critic


If I close my eyes, I can't believe it's not a pipe organ: incredible!"                Pietro Bianci, Swiss Radio


"The particular tonal layout permits near authentic performance of both antique and baroque music, as well as having the brilliant sounds for some of the more aggressive modern pieces. Soft, sweet stops (and a very impressive crescendo), however, are still available for the romantic repertoire on the Espressivo (Swell) organ which - like the poignant sounds of the old Venetian school, available on the Positivo (Choir), with its shimmering Ripieno, brash Tromboncino-Regale and brilliant Cornetto Combinato - combine beautifully with the singing sounds on the magnificent Grand Organo (Great) Bravo, Ernesto! Almost all the numerous visiting organists have wanted to sit down and play it straight away (...and then not wanted to go away!), while visiting choirs have been delighted with the clear intonation of the sounds available for accompaniment and organo concertante."

Robert Michaels BA, Organist and Master of the Choir School
of Lugano Cathedral, and Consultant


"Although I was not completely satisfied when I heard the organ before it was finished, I have taken up studying again - almost every day - and I am totally convinced."

Luigi De Marchi, Parish Organist, Pregassona
