- On 16 July 1961, a new organ was put into use in the Sint Katharinakerk in Hoogstraten, built by the Pels & Zn. firm. It was played by Edgard De Laet and Jos Bruurs.
- In 2013/2014, the organ was restored by the Verschueren firm. The console was overhauled and expanded with a modern setzer installation. Furthermore, the pipework was cleaned and revoiced. The Zachtbas 16' of the pedal was changed to a Quintbas 10 2/3'. On 3 May 2014, the restored organ was put into use again with a concert by Nico Declerck and Luc Dockx.
