Pipe organ in Étampes, Pipe organ in Notre-Dame-du-Fort church, Étampes, France
The pipe organ features three towers with five pipes each and two flat faces, decorated with gilded angel heads from the eighteenth century.
The instrument, originally built in 1587, maintains over 45% of its original pipes and underwent significant restoration by François Thierry in 1708.
The console displays keyboards with bone natural keys and ebony sharps, demonstrating traditional organ manufacturing techniques.
The suspended mechanical transmissions and square section draw stops enable precise control of both the great organ and echo registers.
The instrument's temperament follows a classic mesotonic scale with pitch calibrated to 440 Hz.
