This chapter studies the installation of church organs in Italian Observant churches, and investigates how this to some extent was legitimized or not within Observant discourses of religious discipline and poverty. All this also took place in light of the realization that the organ was able to contribute to the outward reputation of the communities in question, and could stir up devout emotions and facilitate religious conversion.
