Garcia Hernandez
(St. John the Baptist Parish F-1859)
-
The organ is built by Roques Hermanos Constructores, Zaragoza as seen of the
plate on the cover of the keyboard. -
Built probably in the later part of the 19th century in Spain and later shipped
here. - It
stands awkwardly on the choir loft at the back of the church in the middle of
the nave facing the sidewall. It is
probably not intended for this church. - In
1964, Fr. Urban Salada together with the parish people organized the
restoration. Engineer Edward Asache
(a foreigner living in Cebu) did the work. - A
strong earthquake after the restoration damaged the front facade of the church
affecting the organ very much as stones fell on it. It was not anymore repaired after that incident. -
The case is made of solid oak wood built in simple neo-gothic style. - 5
drawknob holes on both sides -
Compass of C-g3 (56 notes) probably not a divided keyboard. -
Metal pipes are made of high percentage tin with thick walls. There are just a few of them left. -

has a big windchest measuring 1850mm x 900 mm.
Constructed with fundament board on both sides.
It has one big pipe rack over the windchest for the whole pipe work. -
The parallel bellow underneath has an inside and outside fold pumped by a wedge
type bellow.
