Workers started dismantling Notre-Dame's grand organ on Monday to let experts restore it in time for the fifth anniversary of the fire that damaged the Paris cathedral.

The organ - the biggest musical instrument in France - was not burned by the flames that destroyed the cathedral’s roof and spire on April 15, 2019. But it was covered in soot and damaged by humidity. Workers will dismantle its five keyboards, pedalboard and the 109 stop knobs that control airflow to its 8,000 pipes, some as high as 10 metres.
