France’s largest musical instrument is ready to sound again.
It has taken months of painstaking cleaning and decontaminating of 8,000 pipes, 115 organ stops and numerous other musical components, but on Saturday the majestic tones of the Grand Organ of Notre Dame will ring out once more. It will be the first time the revived instrument has been played in front of an audience since the Parisian landmark went up in flames more than five years ago.
” To tune an organ, one needs a perfect ear and, typically, complete silence, the latter of which proved nearly impossible to find on the highly specialized construction site. To accommodate this, one team started tuning the pipes by day, while another team perfected the work through the night after construction teams had left.
