2017-08-07 - Joseph Casavant-s sons completely rebuilt the organ in 1892 as a 52-stop instrument over 3 manuals and pedal. The instrument used an electro-pneumatic action which represented a new summit for the Casavant firm. The main section of the organ is located in the rear gallery while a second organ, a 17-stop choir organ over 3 manuals and pedal, is located in two arches over the sanctuary and is known as the Sanctuary Organ. Both organs are played from the console in the rear gallery.<br> <br> From the very beginning, the organ case was divided into two sections in order to show the magnificent stained-glass window. Originally the console was attached to the left organ case.<br> <br> New stops were added in 1917. A more modern console was installed in 1940 when a major rebuild was undertaken and, in 1975, a revision of the electric action was carried out. (Cathedral website) -Database Manager
