<< Incidentally, Vicentino did design two different keyboard instruments,
apparently both sharing the same two alternative 36-note tunings: the
archicembalo or "superharpsichord" and the arciorgano or "superorgan,"
the latter a kind of portable organ which could be transposed on the
back of a mule and assembled at the destination. While a "portative"
organ was a smaller instrument carried by the player, the category of
a "positive" organ might fit this instrument. >>

Was the organ actually built?
