The printed specification kindly furnished to us by Dr. William C.
Carl, of New York, who obtained it specially from Mr. Charles Mutin, of
Paris, Cavaille-Coll's successor in business, is not clear on the
matter of couplers. Apparently all the manuals can be coupled to the
Grand Choeur; the Grand Orgne and the Grand Choeur to the Pedals; and
each manual has a suboctave coupler on itself. One of the combinations
to the Pedal organ is designated, "Effets d'orage"--a thunder stop.
The organ was completely overhauled and renovated by Cavaille-Coll
shortly before his death (in 1899) and the stops marked * were inserted
in the Swell (Recit Expressif) in place of others. The inauguration
announcement states that it is one of the largest and most complete in
Europe, and that independently of the perfection of the mechanism it
possesses a power and variety of tone hitherto unknown in organ
building, and now only realized for the first time. It is undoubtedly
Cavaille-Coll's finest work, and a lasting monument to his genius.
