Organ n. 14 The choir organ of the Saint Stephen Basilica belongs to the order of the Dominicans. It was constructed in 1900 by the Austrian firm of Matthaus Mauracher & Sohne of Salzburg. It is of considerable dimensions: approximately 4 meters wide by 2 meters deep and more than 5 meters high.

The organ case is made of varnished red oak. The register of Principal is placed on the facade with the distribution 3-5-3-9-3-5-3. Above the organ case, and by extension of the elements 5, 9, and 5 are found 3 decorative boards. The boards on the left and on the right, dominated by triangular capitals decorated with lilies, contain an emblem representing palm branches interlaced with swords above which is a crown. The central board, higher than the two others, has 19 Principal 8' pipes in the interior of an arch: it is dominated by a molding of chevrons and lilies. Along the facade runs a small balcony in the same wood.
The organ has currently fallen into disrepair and is not operational.
