A jewel in Gothic guise.

The music department of Zurich Central Library (upper level of the Predigerkirche choir) has several instruments which are used for their regular lunchtime concerts. This small organ with 4 stops and exclusively wooden pipes can satisfy all chamber music requirements. The grilles are designed to match the Gothic motifs of the building's windows.
