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.
