Notes

2017-08-07 - The first organ was an 18-stop instrument (1,063 pipes) built by Joseph Casavant, the founder of the Casavant organ building firm, and inaugurated on March 7, 1850 by Damis Paul, organist at the cathedral in Montreal. The instrument had been partially installed in 1848 for Bishop Guigues' consecration. The organ case was later sculpted by Flavien Rochon in 1871 and the organ was restored by organbuilder Louis Mitchell a few years later. (Cathedral website) -Database Manager
