  • In 1889 Theodor Kuhn built a two-manual organ for the Reformierte Kirche in Zürich-Unterstrass, Turnerstrasse 47. The instrument was given a beautiful Gothic-revival style organ case. In 1911 it was sold by the municipality and transferred to the Église Saint-Sigismon in Saint-Maurice in Valais. The top of the organ case was demolished and replaced by a new layout.
  • After the construction of a new organ for this church by the Kuhn company in 2001, the old instrument was taken over by the Kuhn company. In 2005-2006 it was technically restored and offered for sale, but without results. The original organ case with the gothic facade was reconstructed in 2016, after which the organ was installed in the Reformierte Kirche Auf der Egg in Zürich-Wollishofen. This church was also used as KunstKlangKirche.
  • Due to the closure of the church, the organ was offered for sale in 2021. It was disassembled by Kuhn in April 2023. At the beginning of 2024 it was announced that the instrument will be placed in the Französische Kirche in Bern after an overhaul. It will be the second organ here, and will be placed on the church floor near the choir.
