The organs of Paris

Saint Ignace was built by the Jesuits in 1855 in a neo-gothic style (St. Ignatius of Loyola is the founder of the order of the Jesuits). It has no apparent facade which can be seen from the street. The pastoral and liturgical services are provided by the Jesuits. Next to the chapel is their Centre Sèvres, which houses the Faculty of philosophy and theology of the Jesuits in France.
E5 The instrument was originally built by the Belgian builder Hippolyte Loret and was inaugurated by César Franck in 1862. But the organ gave no satisfaction, so, the Jesuits asked Cavaillé- Coll to build a new instrument of 31 stops, in the Loret case. The work was completed in 1891. Following the expulsion of the Jesuits during the law of 1905 and the disaffection of the church, Mutin was commissioned to overhaul the instrument in 1924, without making any changes to the instrument. In 1947, during a new overhaul, Danniellot and Salmon replaced the Salicional and the Cornet with a Nasard and a Tierce. In 1977, the Haerpfer-Ermann factor was commissioned to complete a complete restoration with the addition of a back positive with 11 stops. In 1998, maintenance work was carried out by Yves Koenig in collaboration with Philippe Emeriau. The organ was completely dismantled and cleaned, the worn parts replaced. The mechanics were reviewed. The keyboard, the Salicional, the Cornet and all the pieces of Cavaillé-Coll were restored. At the Positif, the Clairon was replaced by a Cromorne. In 2012, the same builders carried out new maintenance work on the traction and installation of a combinator. The organ was completely dismantled and dusted. But the main work was to renew all the bellows of the instrument. Used and obsolete stop draw reels were replaced. In 2018, Yves Fossaert replaced all the conducts eaten away by oxidation.
