- In 1768, a new organ was built for the cathedral of Asti by Liborio Grisanti. The instrument was relocated to the south side of the choir (Evangelio) by the brothers Serassi in 1835, when they built a new organ on the north side. In 1865 a restoration was carried out by them. The original composition had a Tromboni on the pedal, and a Tromba at the manual, but those stops were removed by Serassi. The Tromba was replaced by a Viola 4' (bass) and Flauto Traverso 8' (Discant).
- For a long time the organ was in an unplayable condition. It has been restored in 2009-2010. On May 23, 2010, the instrument was inaugurated again.
