After

years
of
serious
financial
difficulties,
Aristide
Cavaillé-
Coll
sold
his
company
in
1898
to
Charles
Mutin,
a
pupil
and
former
worker.
Charles
Mutin
(1861-1931)
entered
the
Cavaillé-Coll
company
as
an
apprentice
at
the
age
of
14,
entrusted
to
Joseph
Koening,
one
of
the
voicers
of
the
company.
23
years
later,
he
became
the
head
of
this
renowned
company.
He
continued
the
tradition
of
his
former
employer
and
built
approx.
300 organs until his retirement in 1923.
in
1924,
Auguste
Convers
(1884-1976)
took
over
the
company:
Manufacture
d’orgues
Cavaillé-Coll,
Mutin,
A.
Convers
et
Cie
.
This
was
the
start
of
a
rapid
decline
of
the
quantity
and
in
particular
the
quality
of
the
instruments
delivered,
leading
to
a
bankruptcy
in
1928.
The
company
was
then
converted
into
a
joint-stock
company
Société
anonyme
française
de
facture
d’orgues
Cavaillé-Coll
,
while
Convers started a new company on his own in 1929.
In
1931,
a
new
conversion
was
done
into
a
Société
fermière
des
Etablissements
Cavaillé-Coll
with
Joseph
Beuchet
(1904-1970)
as
one
of the directors.
In 1934, the Pleyel firm took over and Joseph Beuchet resigned.
In
1936,
the
Société
Anonyme
Cavaillé-Coll
gave
Pleyel
an
exclusive
licence
to
the
exploitation
and
sales,
resulting
in
a
new
company
Pleyel-Cavaillé-Coll
.
This
construction
was
not
successful
too
and
the
World War II formed its Waterloo.
