Cavaille-Coll, Aristide Invoice signed ('A Cavaille-Coll') to William Maynes, S. Cecilia's...

Cavaille-Coll, Aristide
Invoice signed ('A Cavaille-Coll') to William Maynes, S. Cecilia's Lodge, Malvern, 16 April 1880, one sheet, folded for posting, Avenue de Maine, 13 &15 - Paris, framed and glazed.
Invoice for a 'voix humaine' from C to G with 44 'tuyaux' (pipes), detailing the pressure and requesting information on tuning. Cavaille-Coll moved the Voix Humaine to the Recit from the Grand Orgue, making it a part of the Swell enclosure and allowing for a more expressive sound. It has not been possible to trace Maynes, nor the Lodge, so it is unclear if the work was completed or if it survives still.
with print of a William Boyce dedication to George III, likely in relation to his Cathedral Music books, framed and glazed.

Not Sold

 

. Some tearing and creasing to Cavaille-Coll letter, with loss to upper right corner.
