The organcase dates to 1770-1780 and is of unknown
origin. It was either the positif of a 16 foot organ, or the
case of a small organ of 8 foot. The instrumental part is
built by Cavaillé-Coll in the end of the XIXth century. In
1970 Gonzalez changed the composition and
reharmonized and electrified it.
The organ has been restored in 2018 by Bernard
Dargassies:
•
Total restoration of the Cavaillé-Coll wind chests
•
Replacement of the transmission by a new
multiplex, which allowed the addition of ‘octaves
graves’ and ‘octaves aigues’
•
Restoration of the Herman machines of the
keyboard traction
•
Repair of the console with replacement of the
pulls of the stops and installation of a Setter
mechanism
•
Replacement of the Flûte 4 and Quarte 2 by a Flûte
Octaviante 4 and a Octavin 2, adaptation of the
Cromorne, the Plein Jeu of Gonzalez, the
Doublette, derivation of the Bourdon 16 of the
Pedal to the GO, extension into a Bourdon 32
(Quinte 10 2/3).
A reconstruction of the Swell of Cavaillé-Coll (Gambe 8,
Voix Céleste 8, Cor de Nuit 8, Flûte Octaviante 4,
Basson-Hautbois 8, Trompette 8, Clairon 4.) was
discussed, but the sister-organist preferred to keep a
composition allowing more variety of stops.
Many thanks to Mr Bernard Dargassies for this
information.
