Pipe Organs
The organ in the Basilica of St. Mary of Nazareth in Sestri Levante is one of the most important organs of the Riviera di Levante. It is a magnificent instrument built by the famous brothers Serassi of Bergamo in 1832 and bears the opus number 465.
It has a keyboard of 56 keys and range of C1-G5 with the first octave chromatic and division Bassi-Soprani between B2 and C3 and a flat pedalboard of 24 pedals. Restored according to the dictates of the Cecilian reform by brothers Lingiardi in 1918, which made the first octave chromatic and replaced some stops. The organ currently has the following stops, operated by levers placed in two columns to the right of the keyboard:
| Prima colonna | Seconda colonna |
|---|---|
| Terza mano | Principale 16' bassi |
| Cornetto I soprani | Principale 16' soprani |
| Cornetto II soprani | Principale 8' bassi |
| Fagotto bassi | Principale 8' soprani |
| Tromba soprani | Ottava bassi |
| Clarone bassi | Ottava soprani |
