A positive organ presented to the Kangxi emperor by the mandarin, Zhao Chang at the same time as Teodorico Pedrini’s PEK1713a. It had been made by the Jesuits at the newly-renovated Nantang church and college (see pic, computer-modeled view from a hypothetical organ loft, from Wang and Maglioccola, 2010.)
In the end, Kangxi accepted Pedrini’s organ and a clock-organ, and sent this Jesuit-made organ back to the Nantang college.
