1996 Benoît & Émile Marchand  restoration

  • Mathias Schmit built a two-manual organ for the parish church of Lombise in 1862-1863. It was dedicated on Whit Monday, May 24, 1863. In 1911, Maurice Delmotte placed an independent Soubasse on a pneumatic pedal chest. The disposition of the Récit in particular was also radically changed. At the Grand Orgue the Larigot was replaced by a Dolce 8'. On the Récit the disposition was changed to Bourdon 8', Flûte Harmonique 8', Salicional 8', Voix Céleste 8', Hautbois 8' and Euphone 8'.
  • In 1996, Benoît Marchand carried out a restoration in which the original disposition was partially reconstructed.
