Art/Literary - Tourism & Travel | | Spanish term or phrase: caja | Hi I would appreciate your help with this term if there is a technical term or not.
Context is:
"Para terminar nuestra visita nos acercamos hacia el Coro Mayor, situado frente al retablo, a los pies de la nave central. Es un conjunto formado por la rejería y la sillería, elaboradas a mediados del siglo XVI en madera de roble de Flandes y boj amarillo. Los respaldos altos están tallados con escenas del Antiguo y del Nuevo Testamento. El órgano es una interesante combinación de la ****caja**** del siglo XVI con un instrumento musical del siglo XXI, que fue estrenado a comienzos de 2009."
Thanks for your help :) |

Casing
The organ of the Severikirche in Erfurt, Germany, features a highly decorative case with ornate carvings and cherubs.
The pipes, action, and wind system are contained in a case, the design of which also may incorporate the console. The case blends the organ's sound and aids in projecting it into the room.[43] The case often is designed to complement the building's architectural style and it may contain ornamental carvings and other decorations. The visible portion of the case, called the façade, will most often contain pipes, which may be either sounding pipes or dummy pipes solely for decoration. The façade pipes may be plain, burnished, gilded, or painted.[44]
Organ cases occasionally feature a few ranks of pipes protruding horizontally from the case in the manner of a row of trumpets. These are referred to as pipes en chamade and are particularly common in organs of the Iberian peninsula and large twentieth-century instruments. |
