  • In 2006, Dominique Richaud installed a historic organ in the auditorium of the Conservatoire de Musique in Courbevoie. It is an instrument by Nicolas-Antoine Lété with three manuals and 31 registers, dating from 1847. The origin is unknown. The organ was renovated in 1907 by Charles Mutin, and in 1933 by Maison Pleyel.
  • In 2017 it was decided to replace the organ with a digital organ and to sell it. Despite protests, sales eventually went through in the summer of 2022.
