- In 1962, the Kuhn firm built a new organ in the old organ case of Johann Conrad Speisegger, dating from 1756. This instrument was the first organ in the church since the Reformation. It served until 1890. In 1891, Friedrich Goll built a new organ for the church on the west side. The positive organ was removed from the old organ, but the main case remained. Kuhn constructed a new Rückpositiv in style of the old work. The new organ was put into use on January 6, 1963.
- During a renovation in 2015, the company Kuhn on the Schwellwerk replaced the Scharf 4 fach (2/3') with a Voix Céleste 8' and a tremulant was placed on the Schwellwerk. To help with registration, Kuhn installed a modern Setzer installation with 10,000 combination options instead of the old installation with eight combinations.
