Description nr.: 2026342.
Built by: Builder unknown (ca. 1875)
Around 1875 a new organ was built for the Église Saint-Léon in Paris in the fifteenth district. This organ was dismantled in 1948 by Jules Isambart because of the installation of another second-hand organ. Denise Masson donated the old organ to the parish of the Saints-Martyrs in Marrakech. This church was built in 1930 in the new Guéliz district. Jean Perroux took care of the rebuilding in Morocco, where the organ was dedicated in 1951. In the course of time the instrument got in a bad state. In 2004 Maurice Delmotte completed a restoration of the Grand Orgue, which can be played again since. Récit and Pédale are out of use, and still waiting for a restoration.
