Metropolitan Cathedral Pipe Organs
The cathedral has two Pipe Organs, they were made in Mexico by JoseNassarre (spanish) in 1736, incorporating elements from 17th century. They are the largest 18th century organs in the Americas, they are situated above the walls of the choir, on the epistle side (east) and the gospel side (west).
Both organs, damaged by fire in 1967, were restored in 1978. Because both organs had fallen into disrepair again, the gospel organ was re-restored from 2008-2009 by Gerhard Grenzing, the restoration of the epistle organ, also by Grenzing, was completed in 2014, and both organs are now playable
