The instrument was modified in the 1960s to make it more baroque in character, but the result was not satisfactory. A restoration was carried out in 1974 at the initiative of Emile Neyron and Charles Shatto. The original instrument has been completely reconstructed. The work was performed by Jack M. Bethards.
