From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giovanni Pradella (born 1971) founded the Pradella Organ Workshop, located in the Valtellina province of Sondrio since 1993. Specialized in building new organs and restoring old ones. The Pradella Workshop has recaptured the technique used by the renaissance master. Giovanni Pradella is now internationally renowned, commissioned with prestigious restorations and new instruments. He has collaborated with other notable organ builders, among whom is the German, Gerald Wohel, on the restoration of an Italian style organ at the University of Rochester, in the United States.
