The so-called "Dauphin's organ" in Madame Adelaide's large
cabinet is reputed to have been made for a member of the
royal family, but its identification is still uncertain. It was
placed in this room to evoke the great attraction of Louis
XV's children to music.
The organ is probably one of three cabinet organs
commissioned from organ builder Nicolas Sommer in 1747
for the Dauphin, the Dauphine and Madame Adélaïde. The
organ was moved to Saint-Sulpice in 1804 and in 1968 again
transferred to Versailles.
The windchests and transmission are by Cavaillé-Coll. The
pipes are from Cavaillé-Coll and Danion-Gonzalez.
