THE CATHEDRAL (St. Sauveur).—On the Choir Screen stands an elaborately designed organ. Its base is taller than usual, and the arrangement of pipes somewhat complicated. In the centre is a tower of seven pipes, with a flat on each side containing two tiers of pipes. Above the cornice of this work, rises in the centre a tall tower of seven pipes, crowned with much carved work, and surmounted by a large figure. On each side is a flat of pipes, with an angel playing on a trumpet in each corner. On each side of the organ stands a tower of five large pipes, with elaborate cornices and wings. That on the south side is surmounted by King David, and that on the north by St. Cecilia. These towers overhang the case, and are joined to the centre work by flats of seven pipes. The pipes are gilt in the English fashion, the front facing the Choir consists simply of panels of carved open work, with a Choir Organ in front, the pipes of which are gilt. 1872.
ST. ANNE.—On the Choir Screen stands a little organ, with gilt pipes and very elaborate carving. 1872.
ST. JACQUES.—On the Choir Screen is a handsome organ, with good carving. The side facing the Choir shows pipes in its two end towers only, the rest being filled in with open work tracery. 1872.
ST. JEAN (chapel in the hospital of).—The organ, not a very old instrument, stands in a second gallery, at the west end of the chapel, its pipes are gilt, and arranged somewhat in the German manner, showing a Great and Choir front in one case. 1872.
NOTRE DAME.—There is on the Choir Screen a very curious early Renaissance organ case, forming the base of the rood. Its pipes are not gilt, and it has a plain Choir Organ on its eastern side. 1872.
LES SŒURS DE CHARITÉ (chapel in the convent of).—In the west gallery is a small organ, standing flush with its front. It consists of a single flat of bright tin pipes, and the wood-work is painted white. 1872.
BRUSSELS.
STE. GUDULE.—At the west end is an ugly divided organ case, with very little work about it. In the front of its gallery is a hanging Choir Organ, of bad Gothic. On the south side of the Choir, stands a fair-sized harmonium. 1869.
