Very last Cavaillé-Coll:

for a revival...

The reconstruction project aims at placing the Opus 699 instead of the current choir organ of Nancy Cathedral.

​

The original disposition and sound from Cavaillé-Coll will be restored with the greatest respect, mechanisms will be reconstructed considering the inner constraints of its new place and case.

​

The current case of the choir organ will be re-used (dated 1844) which will be a good match as the Opus 699 lost its original case in 1911, due to transfer in the Theatre Municipal.

​

Current pedal stops of the choir organ may also be re-used in order to rebuild Cavaillé-Coll’s pedal, which was also lost.

 

To be noted the volume of the current choir organ’s case, currently counting 15 stops, is well-sized to welcome the Opus 699.
