Clavi-organum, builder unknownA curious instrument born from the unnatural coupling of a bourdon and a lute on the second keyboard of a small organ whose first keyboard also sounded the bourdon alone. This instrument then combines a harpsichord by the presence of a lute (stringed) playable on the second keyboard and a positive organ by the presence of an 8' Bourdon common to the two manual keyboards. Pédalier en tirasses.
E6The choir organ of St Gervais was built by Daublaine Callinet in 1845. It consisted of 13 stops. Overhauled in 1912 (Reinburg) and 1930 (Rochesson), it was transferred in 1940 to the front of the south transept.In 1957, Rochesson added a first octave (12 notes) to the Bourdon 8' of the Récit.In 1967, during an overhaul, Gutschenritter took the opportunity to add a Doublette and a Plein-Jeu III/IV rgs on a pneumatic windchest.After the various interventions, the Récit had a Gamba and a Celeste made of mismatched pipes. The Cornet was at the GO. The wind chests were split. During the works of 1992 by Dargassies, they were restored and rearranged, in order to obtain more homogeneity. The added stops were reworked and integrated into the refurbished wind chest. All the original sound material was put back in order. Being severely damaged during successive interventions, almost the entire console was remade in the spirit of the original.
