2 The Bennett & Giuttari Continuo Organ The instrument is based on the kisten organs of the 17th century (Manderscheit, Nüremberg). All pipework is of wood. The sticker action/palletbox lies directly beneath the keydesk, giving very precise control of pipe speech. A single-fold wedge reservoir on 55 mm or 65 mm gives gently flexible wind. The instrument seeks to be specific in its usage with mild voicing for continuo and in small ensemble and chapel use and fretwork panels with closing doors to control volume. The instrument is the collaboration of John Bennett and Glenn Giuttari.
