Restoration of the André Silbermann 1719 "Positif n° 9" organ at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg
After a anoxic treatment in March 2011, it was completely restored. It is the only instrument of the Alsatian Silbermanns whose mechanical parts have been preserved in their entirety. Only a small amount of the pipes are new.
This instrument is fully functional, its sound is extraordinary, and the only modification it has undergone is the installation of a few large teeth (2 to 4 per pipe, by Stiehr in 1826).
This organ is an extraordinary testimony to the sound and musical research of the Silbermanns.
