Manuel Pérez Molero was a notable Baroque organist and organ builder active in Spain during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He crafted organs for various churches in Segovia, including San Miguel de Turégano (1707), Santa Eulalia (1713), and San Millán (1714), as well as for convents in Ávila, such as Las Gordillas (1720-22) and Santa Maria de Jesús (1719). Besides his work as an organ builder, he also gained recognition as an organist in some of these churches and convents. His financial transactions and payments for construction and repair work are documented in the Historical National Archive of Spain, highlighting his contributions to maintaining and enhancing the organs of that period.

Pérez Molero was the progenitor of a lineage of master organists, connected to notable figures like Francisco Ortega Pérez, Tadeo Ortega, and Leandro Garcimartín de Inés, who were prominent during the golden age of the Spanish organ (18th and 19th centuries). One of his notable creations, the organ from the church of Santa Maria de Jesús in Ávila, is now exhibited in the Museu de la Música in Barcelona. This organ was meticulously restored in 2005 by the Gerhard Grenzing workshop, renowned for its expertise in preserving historical organs. The organ remains in excellent condition, allowing for musical performances that require the traditional method of one person playing the keys while another manually operates the bellows to supply air.
