In 1868, the instrument was overhauled by Cavaillé-Coll. 1903 Restoration and modifications carried out by Charles Mutin. Several changes were made to the stoplist: • The 16′ Bombarde of the Grand-Orgue was transformed into a 16′ Basson. • A 2 2/3′ Quint was added to the Grand-Orgue. • On the Récit, the 8′ Basson-Hautbois and 8′ Voix Humaine were removed and replaced by a 4′ Clairon. • Installation of a 16′ Soubasse on the Pedal, borrowed from the 16′ Bourdon of the Grand-Orgue. Further overhauls were carried out by J. Picaud in 1981 and Swiderski in 2004.
