- Jean-Baptiste Le Picard built a new organ for the abbey church in Liège in 1737-1738. The instrument was modified in 1807 by Arnold Graindorge and in 1836 by Dieudonné-Joseph Comblain. Various revisions were carried out in the twentieth century, including work by the companies Joris, Loncke (1937) and Klais.
- The organ was restored by Georg Westenfelder in the years 1977-1980. A new Echo keyboard was made. The original attached pedal has been retained, but a new larger pedal keyboard has been installed with its own windchest with three stops. Advisor on the work was Hubert Schoonbroodt. He also performed the inaugurational concert on November 16, 1980.
