Organ n. 45 | Organ at the Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth 
The existence of an organ in Nazareth in the 18th century is confirmed by the testimony of the German organist Eliezer Horn. In his letters, he mentions an 8 stop organ made by the organ maker Domenico Mancini from Naples, installed in Nazareth in 1734. Numerous organs have probably followed each other before and after the Mancini organ, but we have found no traces of them. The one before the last in date is from the Italian firm Tamburini and it is still functioning in the crypt. The construction of a new organ of greater dimensions was made necessary by the construction of the Basilica, a vast and imposing building, constructed above the old church of the Annunciation. The making of this organ was entrusted to Brother Delfin Taboada. The inauguration took place on 11th of October 1982 and on this occasion a concert was given by the Franciscan organist, Alberto Cerrone, organist of the Saint Mary of the Angels Basilica in Assisi.
