Jean
Renaud

(1934-
??)
learned
his
skills
from
Raymond
Bouvet
(first
as
apprentice,
than
as
compagnon)
and
Erwin
Müller.
He started his own company in 1960.
He
is
a
representative
of
the
neoclassical
style
but
restored
also
several large Cavaillé-Coll organs.
In
the
eighties
of
the
past
century,
his
firm
was
bought
by
Gildas
Ménoret:
Maison
Renaud-Ménoret
and
this
firm
was
bought
in
2001
by
Nicolas
Toussaint
(Manufacture
Bretonne
d'Orgues).
He
worked
with
several
organ
builders
around
Nantes,
e.g.
Robert
frères, Nicolas Toussaint, Claude Berger and Bernard Hurvy.
