Photo: Jeroen de Haan 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.
