The Church of Saint-Antoine des Quinze-Vingts has a high-quality choir organ built by the Merklin and successors in 1908. It has a beautiful neo-Gothic buffet. Placed on the tribune of the north transept, this organ, which has 2 keyboards, pedals and 11 real stops, sounds beautifully filling the acoustics of the church perfectly. A peculiarity is its pneumatic transmission composed of brass tubes that go up along the wall. This relatively complex system shows no failures since its installation in 1908!Text : Thierry Correard
