Español: Órgano de la iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, una iglesia jesuita situada en el centro de Quito, Ecuador. El exterior del templo no deja entrever la belleza de su interior, con una larga nave central, decorada de forma exquisita conpan de oro, yeso dorado y trabajos de madera, lo que la hace la iglesia más ornamental de Quito. El templo es uno de los ejemplos más destacados arquitectura barroca española en América y está considerada la más hermosa de Ecuador. El órgano de tubos está situado en el coro, sobre la entrada principal, y es el de segundo mayor tamaño en Quito que aún está en funcionamiento. El instrumento, del que se hace uso en especiales festividades, se construyó en los Estados Unidos en 1889 y cuenta con 1104 tubos en total.

Українська: Трубний орган в церкві Товариства Ісуса (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús), єзуїтській церкві в Кіто, Еквадор. Її великий центральний неф рясно прикрашений сусальним золотом, позолотою та різьбленням по дереву, що робить цю церкву найбільш декорованою в Кіто. Вона вважається одним із найвидатніших творів іспанської барокової архітектури в Америці та найприкрашенішою церковою в Еквадорі. Орган розташований над головним входом. В ньому 1104 трубки, що робить його другим найбільшим працюючим органом в Кіто. Його зібрали в 1889 році в США і використовують під час спеціальних урочистостей. 한국어: 에콰도르 키토 예수회 교회 (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús)의 파이프 오르간. 건물 외부에서는 호화로운 내부 장식을 추측하기 어렵다. 중앙의 대형 신랑은 금박, 첩금 반죽, 나무 조각으로 아낌없이 장식되어 있어서 키토에서 가장 화려하게 장식된 교회이다. 아메리카 대륙의 스페인 바로크 건축의 중요 작품 중 하나로, 에콰도르에서 가장 아름다운 교회로 여겨지고 있다. 파이프 오르간은 중앙출입구 위의 성가대석에 위치하며, 1104개의 파이프로 키토에서 여전히 사용되는 두 번째로 큰 파이프 오르간이 된다. 이 오르간은 1889년 미국에서 제작되었으며, 특별한 축제 행사 기간 중 사용된다. 中文: 厄瓜多尔基多耶稣会教堂(La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús)的管風琴。光从外面观看其实没办法得知内部美丽的装饰，里面有占地相当大，由金箔、贴金石膏和木雕装饰的中殿，造就这座基多最华丽的教堂。耶稣会教堂是相当典型的美洲西班牙巴洛克风格建筑之一，同时也厄瓜多最美丽的教堂。教堂的管风琴位于入口唱​​诗班旁，是基多第二大仍在操作的管风琴。这件杰作会在特殊节庆使用，是在1889年时在美国制作，总共有1,104根音管。 中文（繁體）‎: 厄瓜多基多耶穌會教堂(La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús)的管風琴。光從外面觀看其實沒辦法得知內部美麗的裝飾，裡面有佔地相當大，由金箔、貼金石膏和木雕裝飾的中殿，造就這座基多最華麗的教堂。耶穌會教堂是相當典型的美洲西班牙巴洛克風格建築之一，同時也厄瓜多最美麗的教堂。教堂的管風琴位於入口唱詩班旁，是基多第二大仍在操作的管風琴。這件傑作會在特殊節慶使用，是在1889年時在美國製作，總共有1,104根音管。
