  • André Thomas built a new organ for the Église Notre-Dame et Saint-Remacle in Spa, inspired by the work of Gottfried Silbermann, in particular the organ in the Georgenkirche in Rötha from 1721. Consultants were Jean Ferrard and Jean Woltèche. The instrument was dedicated on September 11, 1992 with a concert by Jean Ferrard.
  • Three stops were only prepared for. Thomas installed the Trompete on the mainwork in 1993, and finally in 1997 the Vox Humana of the Oberwerk and the Octavbass of the Pedal were placed. Herewith the organ was completed.
