Notre-Dame-de-la-Barthe, Saint-Chinian

If the Peyssy-Micot organ of the church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Barthe in Saint-Chinian cannot compete with the "Seven Organistic Wonders of the Hérault", it is nevertheless one of the three authentically "historic" 18th century organs of the Hérault with the Micot organ of Saint-Pons-de-Thomières and that of Jean-Pierre Cavaillé in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. At the time of its rediscovery in 1962 by Pierre Rochas and Pierre Chéron, all that was missing from its original elements were the 7 ranks of Mixtures of the Grand-Orgue, the mechanism and the Pedal windchests, the keyboards and the cuneiform blower.
