Jordi Bosch i Bernat (also known as Jordi Bosch Bernat or Jordi Bosch Bernat-Verí, in Castilian Spanish as Jorge Bosch de Bernat-Veri or Jorge Bosch y Bernat-Veri, commonly Jordi Bosch) was born on November 8, 1739, in Palma de Mallorca, and died on December 2, 1800, in Madrid. He was a Mallorcan organ builder and, from 1779, the royal Spanish court organ builder. Bosch is considered one of the greatest masters of his craft in the second half of the 18th century.
Jordi Bosch was the son of the organ builder Mateu Bosch (1709–1751), who built the organ in the Església de Sant Jeroni in Palma de Mallorca (1746). His grandfather was also an organ and harpsichord builder. After his father's death, Bosch continued his apprenticeship under his uncle Pere Josep Bosch. With the support of the Bishop of Mallorca, Francisco Garrido de la Vega, he furthered his training with Leonardo Fernández Dávila in Granada. Bosch completed Fernández Dávila's work on the organ for the chapel of the Palacio Real in Madrid between 1772 and 1778, thus becoming his successor.
In 1779, Bosch was appointed the royal Spanish court organ builder. He was tasked not only with tuning, maintaining, and caring for the instruments he built but also with establishing an organ-building school. That same year, he married María Manuela Lidón, the younger sister of the royal court organist José Lidón; however, she passed away a year later. Despite being appointed a chamber servant in 1795, Bosch died financially ruined in the house of his brother-in-law José Lidón.
Bosch authored an illustrated 200-page treatise on organ building, which remains lost since its sale in Barcelona in 1924. He is also credited with some inventions outside of organ building. Prominent students of Bosch included Antonio Otín Calvete, Francisco Rodríguez—who built one of the two organs in the Iglesia San Juan Bautista in Marchena in 1802—and Gabriel Thomás. His workshop was succeeded by his brother-in-law, Juan Debono.
