Paul R. Marchesano on March 18th, 2025:
From Organs of Paris website: The instrument of the Chapel of the Virgin has a very eventful history. Originally built by Abbey for the church of St Etienne du Mont, it was the very first choir organ in Paris. In 1833, Canon Olivier, who owned the instrument, was appointed parish priest at St Roch and had the instrument transferred there and placed in the choir. When the new choir organ was built by Cavaillé in 1845, the instrument was transferred to the chapel of Calvaire, which led to the shortening of the frame of the instrument to reduce its height to that of the chapel. In 1849, the chapel was demolished and the organ moved to the Chapel of the Virgin. In 1877, modifications were made by Cavaillé: the addition of stops and the installation of a 'movable ceiling'. In 1932 Gutschenritter changed the sound parameters of the instrument with the creation of timbre notches. In 1973, the organ was completely restored by Swidersky, who carried out a restoration to a condition close to that of the instrument built by Abbey.
