AB2 The instrument was commissioned in 1739 from François- Henri Lesclop. It was then placed on a magnificent oak tribune made in 1739 by Louis Régnier. The instrument then has 32 stops spread over 4 manuals and a pedalboard. The organ was rebuilt in 1851 by Cavaillé-Coll. A complete reconstruction was undertaken by Charles Spackmann Barker in 1870. Only the buffet, a few stops and the wind tunnel were reused. The new instrumental part was built on 3 manuals of 54 notes (Positive and GO) and 42 notes (Récit expressif) and a 30 notes German-style pedalboard. Introduction of Gambes and harmonic stops, elimination of mixtures. In 1898 Abbey carried out other important alterations, including the removal of the Positive, the addition of an independent console, the inversion of the manuals and the movement of the Pedal to the sides. In 1956, Edmond Alexandre Roethinger made some changes to the composition to go in a more "neo-classical" direction and added Pleins-Jeux. 1973 A new instrument was built by Alfred Kern in a Franco-German neoclassical style. The case was then completely restored and about seven old stops were used in the composition of the new organ. If the stops of Mutations and the reeds are rather inspired by the French classical construction, the Pleins-Jeux are inspired by the North German organ. A Swell was placed in the base of the instrument (lack of space). Two adjoining cases were built on either side of the large case to house the pedal stops. 1995 A complete overhaul by Muhleisen (Georges Walther and André Schaerer). 2015 Yves Fossaert and Muhleisen carried out a new overhaul.
