The organs of Paris
ORGANS OF PARIS © 2024 Vincent Hildebrandt HOME ALL ORGANS
E6 Before the French Revolution, there was a small organ in the chapel of the Swedish Embassy, which was the very first organ located in a Protestant temple in Paris. The instrument was probably dispersed during the French Revolution and it is possible that some stops were integrated into the organ of the Louvre Oratory after its attribution to the Reformed cult. In the former Swedish church, Cavaillé-Coll delivered a small organ which was received on December 24, 1878. The instrument was probably sold during the construction of the new church in 1910. In 1920, after the completion of the building, Charles Mutin delivered a new instrument in an Art Deco buffet. In 1932, Beuchet performed an overhaul and installed an independent pneumatic-traction pedal. In 1981, Haerpfer carried out a new overhaul in order to adapt the instrument to the neo-classical aesthetic. In 1990, the breathless instrument was replaced by a new instrument built by the Swedish company Hammarberg. The buffet was reused.
