The organ at Frombork was built in .1683 by the organ- -builder Daniel Nitrowski of Gdańsk. In later times, however, it was for several times subjected to repairs, thoroughly reconstructed and, finally, in 11034 extended by E. Kemper of Lübeck. As a consequence of that extension it was divided into two instruments controlled from the single, common console and the mechanical tracker action was replaced by that of electro- pneumatic type. In il945 the organ suffered a number of serious damages. Owing to restoration carried out in 1960—69 it was possible to recover the tuning of 1934 and even some groups of pipes have been extended thus forming an instrument of the so called concert class. At present the organ has 59 stops which are divided into the following groups: great organ (43 stops), choir organ (16 stops), five manuals and the pedal. The prospect survived in its almost unchanged original form; the only minor alteration consists in horizontally positioned 8’ pipes of Spanish trumpet which were added in 1934 by E. Kemper.
