Into the 21st century

The gallery organ in the Basilica of St-Maurice Abbey was built by our company in 1950 with 66 sounding stops. It is a historical organ that impresses with its poetic and grandiose timbres. After more than 70 years of service it needs a thorough cleaning. In this context, there is an opportunity to bring the instrument into the 21st century by adding new colors to the existing stops.

This project is of great importance for us. We are very happy about this order!

The picture shows the organ before the revision and rebuilding.
