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.

The console is placed at the center of the choir of the upper church, and it is connected to the organ by a cable.

organ nb. 25 | The organ of the Crusader Church in Abu Gosh

This liturgical organ was offered to the Crusader church of Abu-Gosh by the French minister of Foreign affairs, M. Roland Dumas. It was entirely designed and brought to life by Brother D. Taboada. It was inaugurated in 1986.
Its organ case, in the form of a triptych, was made of pine with certain elements of plywood. On the top of it is a wooden freeze representing decorative flowers. The console is electrically connected to the instrument, which allows it to be turned at the wish of the organist.

The organ is placed on the floor and against the wall in the narrow part of the nave and the console is generally oriented towards the choir. The Principal 4′ comes from an old Agati organ (end of the 18th century), installed first in Tripoli, Syria, later moved to Latakia, and finally moved to Jerusalem. The bourdon is also very old but its provenance is unknown. The Cor Anglais is from about 1930. It comes from a German organ found in Bethlehem.
