We are pleased to inform you that we have just opened a workshop intended for the manufacture of Organs and Pipes for Churches, Chapels, Concert Halls and the like. This was how, in November 1879, Claver and Samuel Casavant announced the opening of Casavant Frères in Saint-Hyacinthe, near Montréal. Though their interest in research and technological innovation, as well as a keen business sense, had led the brothers to launch this most prestigious organ factory, it was a blacksmith with a passion for music who first dreamed the dream years earlier.
