The organ for which Dom Paul Benoit wrote is a 23 rank three manual Cavaillé-Coll, dedicated in 1907 by Alexander Guilmant at the Paris Exhibition, possibly located in a structure known as the "petit Trocadero", and later moved to the Abbey at Clervaux after its construction in 1910. The 3 manuals have a compass of 56 notes each and the pedalboard is of 30 notes. The two pictures show Dom Paul at the console of the Abbey's Cavaillé-Coll. The organ was used exclusively in the two albums recorded by Carlo Hommel listed on the recordings page of this web site.
