DHM 0 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Some board members may already have heard that the Gonzales organ of Soissons Cathedral was damaged last Thursday night when the west-end rose window imploded during a severe storm. There is more information (in German), links to French newspaper articles, and lots of pictures here: http://www.pfeifenorgelforum.net/forum/index.php?mode=thread&id=27713.

David Surtees 0 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This French news article contains a few pictures of the damage to the organ. The organ sits right behind the Rose window so will have born the brunt of the damage. http://www.lunion.fr/10729/article/2017-01-13/tempete-egon-la-rosace-de-la-cathedrale-de-soissons-s-est-effondree-sur-l-orgue Link to post Share on other sites
