Positive organ in box form with great tonal and aesthetic charm.

This instrument has an unusual construction for a chamber organ. All stops were made out of metal. Only the ‘Bourdon Harmonique’ in the Prospect is made of metal-imitation wooden pipes.
Since the action runs over a roller board, the pipes are arranged in symmetrical diatonic fashion. The stops are divided into bass and treble, the keyboard is transposable. The Regal pipes are located in a swell box. A pipe shade with a freehand-cast metal design enlivens the appearance.
Together with the Organist, Frédéric Champion, we were able to develop and realise many special ideas, and the result is unique, a far from ‘ordinary’ chamber organ.
