RESTORATION

 
As a far I am concerned restoration remains the most important activity in an organ manufacturer’s life allowing him to identify with the instrument or take a close look inside its "soul".

After a few weeks’ work you will feel the organ’s sensitivity as well as its constructor’s emotions along with his difficulties, intentions and the development of his work up to the very end.


Is it essential to know the historical context in order to understand an organ. Diversified work enriches a constructor’s experience considerably.
 
Her are examples of some interesting restorations:

ALTKIRCH (Notre-Dame),
SAINT-QUENTIN (Cliquot-Haerpfer / Aisne),
FOUGERES,
PAIMPOL (Cavaillé-Coll),
BAINS-LES-BAINS,
KESKASTEL (Alsace)
