  • The organ in the parish church Santa Maria in İzmir was built in 1892 by the Italian organ builder Gaetano Zanfretta. It has two manuals and pedal with 22 stops. The original Flautino 4' of the Grand'Organo has been modified to a Flauto 8' (discant). The original Oboe 8' of the Espressivo was replaced with a Viola 8'.
  • Maintenance works were carried out in 2000 by Gustavo Zanin. Antonio Bianchin installed a new electric blower (manufactured by Daminato) in 2013. The organ has been restored in 2014 by the company Mascioni. This was made possible thanks to a gift by Arkas Holding.
