Claude Parisot
Claude Parisot (c. 1704 in Étain – 3 March 1784 in Étain) was a French organ builder. He came from a family of organ builders: his nephew Henri in turn built and repaired many instruments in Lower Normandy and Maine. He learned his art with Moucherel of Lorraine, then in 1727 with Louis-Alexandre and Jean-Baptiste Clicquot in Paris.
