Summary[edit]

Description

He was living in John Street off Tottenham Court Road in 1787. Case of mahogany inlaid with various woods and surmounted by a broken pediment and urn. The front of the case, which is decorated with oval marquetry, is a replacement for the original decoration of traditional metal pipes. The instrument is inscribed above the keyboard: England and Son Londini fecit 1790. The keyboard compass is made up of fifty-four notes and is drawn towards the player when the instrument is opened for playing. Is i pushed in like a drawer before closing the front of the instrument. A ‘nag’s-head’ swell device is provided in the form of a pedal-operated lid on the top of the case.
Français : England and Son Londini fecit 1790. L'orgue de chambre de la cathédrale a été fabriqué en Angleterre en 1790 par Ingland & Son Compagny. Il appartenait à une famille bourgeoise d'Angleterre et est demeuré pendant 150 ans dans une maison à la campagne, avant d'être mis aux enchères vers 1980. Un collectionneur ontarien l'a acheté et ramené au Canada. L'orgue a été légué à la ville de Montréal pour être entreposé chez un facteur d'orgues, en attendant des fonds pour restaurer l'instrument. L'organiste de la cathédrale l'a aperçu dans cette boutique et il a demandé aux responsables de la cathédrale de faire l'acquisition de l'instrument, car celui-ci pourrait accompagner la chorale, placée à l'avant (alors que l'orgue de l'église se trouvait à l'arrière). La cathédrale souhaitait souligner son 200e anniversaire et un donateur anonyme a acheté et assumé les frais de restauration de l'instrument
