Mutin Cavaille-Coll built in 1902 and inaugurated in the Concert Hall of Syllogue Literaire Grec in Konstantinopel on 23.04.1903. In 1925 it was brought to St. Louis Chapel from the house of Sir Ibrahim Tevfik, a pianist, who was son of Sir Mehmed Burhaneddin, a court musician in Ottoman Palace. The date it was sold from Syllogue to Ibrahim Pasha is unknown yet. It had the last repair in August 1935.
