The single keyboard has a compass of 45 notes (C/E bass short octave to c3). There are seven registers, each operated by one of the draw-knobs to the right of the keyboard: Flautado Abº 12 (Open Principal 8’ – from tenor A); Flautado Tapº 12 (Stopped Flute 8’ – the pipes from C to tenor A always play; CDEFGA have a second rank sounding one octave higher); Outava real (Principal 4’ – from the lowest B-flat); Outava de 3 (Principal 2’); Cheo primeiro; Cheo secundo (two mixtures of two ranks each); Cornetilha (2 2/3’ and 1 3/5’ ranks, sounding from middle C-sharp). The rossignol (bird stop) is operated by the stop-knob to the left of the keyboard. Although there is a small modern electric blower to provide wind for the instrument, the original foot pumping mechanism remains operable.
