  • In 1999-2000 the firm Pirchner Orgelbau built a new organ for the Domkirche in Innsbruck. The stop list was designed by Dom organist Reinhard Jaud. The large new organ replaces a 1931 instrument from Rieger in a historic case, constructed around 1725 by Johann Caspar Humpel. This instrument was heavily damaged by bombings on December 15, 1944, but was completely overhauled after the war. It had 87 stops spread over three manuals and pedal. The old case of this instrument has been reused. Consultant was Reinhard Jaud, assisted by Bernhard Edskes. The organ was officially opened on July 1, 2000. Reinhard Jaud played the organ on this occasion.
  • The old organ of Humpel was converted in 1875 by Josef Sies. In 1892 Franz Reinisch built a new organ in the old case. This organ was transferred to the parish church in Innsbruck-Hötting in 1931.
