Pierre Pincemaille , born in 1956 studied with Henri Challan, Jean-Claude Raynaud, Marcel Bitsche and Rolande Falcellini. After receiving a lot of first prices  he became in Novembre 1987 titular organist of the cathedral of St-Denis near Paris.

The 1841 Cavaillé-Coll organ at St. Denis changed organbuilding for all time, for here the great builder conceived his first large organ of great wind-consumption made playable by the Barker lever, used first at St. Denis.
