Michael Praetorius mentions the Traxdorf organ in his 1619 publication, "Syntagma musicum II,"
on pages 110 and 111. At that time, the organ had a pedalboard with the following compass:
A B B c cs d ds e f fs g gs a b (14 notes)
The manual ranged from B to d2, thus having more than two octaves with 28 keys.
------------------------------------------------------
A devil's face from the organ is still preserved. The so-called "Roraffe" hung centrally below the organ loft, and when the lowest bass note sounded, it opened its mouth and stuck out a red tongue.
Other small figures from the historic organ of 1440 can still be seen on the main organ and the choir organ.
