Organ : 3 keyboards , pedalboard - 17 stops
This organ, mainly conceived for the accompaniment of the sisters' singing of which the vocal technique, fine and transparent, makes a kind of " echo" to the silence of this abbatial chapel.
Its voicing was treated in a "retained" way, keeping however its timbre. The wind pressure is thus not very high and the mouths of the pipes are low.
A single windchest with alternated groove channels groups the division of Great-Organ and Positive. The Solo is over this device, the Pedal's stops are behind the case over the cuneiform bellows of 8 feet x 4 feet which feeds the organ.
The case is in maple tree and wild cherry, sculptures are in lime tree, they represent sheafs of wheat, motives present in the various stained-glass windows of the chapel.
