II/12 (11) - traction mécanique

composition

C1 The choir organ was commissioned from Cavaillé-Coll at the same time as he was rebuilding the great organ. Cavaillé-Coll proposed to adapt transposing keyboards in order to remedy the problem of the tuning, which was different between masses with Gregorian plainchant and masses with orchestras. In 1865, revoicing work (with the installation of stamp notches) was carried out by Cavaillé- Coll. In 1913, the instrument was restored with some modifications by Mutin. The organ was then maintained successively by Convers and Gutschenritter. After being rebuilt in 1980, the instrument was completely restored in 1986 by Jean Renaud. Photos organ: Victor Weller
