Built by: Pierre-Alexandre Ducroquet (1854)
The organ in Tournai Cathedral was built in 1854 by Pierre-Alexandre Ducroquet. This organ replaced an instrument by Pieter van Peteghem from 1768, which had been relocated from the abbey church of Affligem and was placed in Tournai in 1808 by Charles Verbeke. Merklin already modified the new organ in 1860, after which it was overhauled again by Schyven in 1882. Nothing has been changed since then. The Flûte à Pavillon of the Grand Orgue was originally a Montre 8'. Schyven exchanged the Salicional 4' of the Positif with the Flûte Harmonique 8' of the Récit, and extended the Salicional to 8'. At the Récit he replaced the Clairon 4' with a Voix Céleste 8'. He also moved the Gambe 4' of the Récit to a Gambe 8'.
