Notes

2019-07-28 - A number of stops are silent due to water damage. -Database Manager

2025-05-23 - The Great and Recit divisions are fully functionals (except for the Bombarde 16 that is unusable due to many ciphers). The Solo division is silent due to a perforated air reservoir. The Positif division is partially functional due to a water (and probably oil) leak. Due to many ciphers when stops are pulled, many pipes have been removed from their windchests. This result in a functional division but with many silent notes. In 2024-2025, a volunteer committee helped to partially restore that organ. Before their interventions, the Positif division was fully silent, as were the reeds of the Recit division. -Louis-Pierre Thibault
