DHM 0 Report post 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 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
