- John Abbey (1785-1859) was an English organ builder. He built organs for the cathedrals of many French cities, to include the installation of organ at the Paris Opera (1831). Many French organ builders adopted his English bellows design. Abbey was born at Whilton, a Northamptonshire village, on 22 December 1785. In his youth he was employed in the factory of Davis, and subsequently in that of Bussell, both organ-builders of repute in their day. In 1826 Abbey went to Paris, on the invitation of Sébastien Érard, the celebrated harp and pianoforte maker, to work upon an organ which Érard had designed, and which he sent to the Exhibition of the Productions of National Industry in 1827, and also to build an organ for the Convent of the Legion of Honour, at St. Denis. He also built an organ from Érard's design for the chapel of the Tuileries, which, however, had only a short existence, being destroyed in the Revolution of 1830. Having established himself as an organ-builder in Paris, Abbey became extensively employed in the construction, renovation, and enlargement of organs in France and elsewhere. Amongst others he built choir organs for accompanying voices for the cathedrals of Rheims, Nantes, Versailles, and Evreux, and for the churches of St. Eustache, St. Nicholas des Champs, St. Elizabeth, St. Medard, St. Etienne du Mont, and St. Thomas Aquinas, in Paris; and large organs for the cathedrals of Rochelle, Rennes, Viviers, Tulle, Chalons-sur-Marne, Bayeux, and Amiens, and for churches, convents, and chapels at St. Denis, Orleans, Caen, Chalons, Picpus, and Versailles. He repaired and enlarged organs in the cathedrals of Mende, Moulins, Rheims, Evreux, and Nevers, and in the churches of St. Etienne du Mont, St. Philippe du Roule, The Assumption, and St. Louis d'Antin in Paris. He also built many organs for Chili and South America. In 1831 Abbey was employed, at the instance of Meyerbeer (who had introduced the instrument into the score of his opera 'Robert le Diablo," then about to be produced), to build an organ for the Grand Opera at Paris, which instrument continued to be used there until it was destroyed, with the theatre, by fire in 1873. Abbey was the first who introduced into French organs the English mechanism and the bellows invented by Cummins. His example was speedily followed by the French builders, and from that period may be dated the improvements in organ-building which raised the French builders to eminence. He died at Versailles on 19 February 1859. He left two sons, E. and J. Abbey, to carry on the business of organ-builders in Versailles.
- Juan Abbey, también llamado en inglés John Abbey, [dʒαn æbi] o Jean Abbey en francés (* el 22 de diciembre de 1785 en Wilton, condado de Northampton, Inglaterra; † Versalles el 13 de febrero de 1859) era distinguido constructor de órganos. Su arte lo aprendió en la fábrica de Davis, y en 1826 lo llamó á París Sebastián Erard, famoso constructor de pianos y arpas, en cuya casa construyó varios órganos, entre ellos el del convento de la Legión de Honor, de San Dionisio y el de las Tullerías, destruido en la revolución de 1830. Establecióse después por su cuenta y fabricó gran número de tan complicados instrumentos, notables por el perfecto acabado y la armonía de los juegos. A instancias de Meyerbeer construyó en 1831 un órgano para la Gran Ópera, que se estrenó con Roberto il diabolo, y que sirvió hasta 1873 en que un incendio destruyó el teatro. Abbey fue el primero que introdujo en los órganos franceses los fuelles inventados por Cummins.
- John Abbey, (ou Jean Abbey en français) est un facteur d'orgue, né en 1780 à Wilton, mort à Versailles en 1859. Ce facteur, qui a surtout exercé en France, a construit un nombre considérable de grandes orgues, mais son principal titre de gloire est d'avoir introduit dans la facture française le mécanisme anglais et la soufflerie de Cummins. Après avoir travaillé successivement avec Davis et Ross en Angleterre, Abbey vint en France, en 1826, et s'y établit définitivement. Une de ses premières œuvres fut l'orgue des Tuileries, détruit à l'époque de la révolution de 1830; il construisit les orgues de chœur de beaucoup d'églises, au nombre desquelles il faut citer Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs et Saint-Eustache à Paris, ainsi qu'à Versailles; il a établi entièrement les grandes orgues des cathédrales de La Rochelle, de Rennes, de Viviers, de Tulle, de Châlons, d'Amiens ainsi que de Bayeux, et l'on lui doit également l'orgue de la chapelle du lycée Henri-IV à Paris, église Saint-Honeste à Yerres (Essonne). On reconnaît la main de ce facteur célèbre au fini du travail et à la parfaite harmonie des jeux.
- Avendo già acquistata una notevole esperienza della sua arte attraverso una lunga pratica fatta sotto la direzione dei fabbricanti Davis prima e Russell poi, fu invitato a Parigi, nel 1826, da Sébastien Érard, per lavorare alla costruzione di un organo del quale Érard aveva disegnato la composizione, e che fu poi presentato all'Esposizione nazionale delle industrie tenutasi a Parigi nel 1827. Abbey acquistò ben presto larga fama di ottimo costruttore, e a Parigi e nelle province francesi costruì molti organi lodatissimi, fra i quali quelli delle cattedrali di Rennes e di Amiens. Abbey per primo trodusse negli organi francesi il meccanismo dei mantici inventato da Cummins.
- John Abbey, (i Frankrike känd som Jean Abbey), född 22 december 1785 i Whilton, Storbritannien, död 19 februari 1859 i Versailles, Frankrike, var en engelsk orgelkonstruktör och orgelfabrikant. Abbey for till Paris 1826 för att arbeta för Sébastien Érard. Efter en tid etablerade han en egen verkstad i Versailles. Han byggde ett stort antal orglar till kyrkor på landsbygden och Paris. Bland hans mest kända räknas till Parisoperan 1831 och en orgel till Exposition Universelle. Abbey var den första orgelkonstruktör som använde sig av pneumatisk mekanism i Frankrike, hans mekanism kom senare att kopieras av andra orgelkonsruktörer. Då Abbey avled 1859 övertog hans son verkstaden i Versailles.
