François-Henri Clicquot
François-Henri Clicquot (1732 – May 24, 1790) was a French organ builder and was the grandson of Robert Clicquot and son of Louis-Alexandre Cliquot, who were also noted organ builders.[1] The Clicquot firm installed the first noteworthy organ in the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris. Though extensively rebuilt and expanded in the nineteenth century by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, some of the original Clicquot pipework was reused, notably in the pedal division of that instrument, where it continues to be heard today. Upon the death of Louis-Alexandre, François-Henri inherited his father's workshop.
He reconstructed the organ of St. Gervais in 1758, and built the organs at St. Sulpice (also notably rebuilt by Aristide Cavaille-Coll), St. Nicolas-des-Champs, Souvigny, and at Poitiers Cathedral.
Cliquot died before he completed the organ at the church of Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois. His son Claude-François Clicquot completed, delivered, and presented the organ on March 7, 1791.
