  • In 1648, Charles Royer built an organ for the church of l'Isle-sur-la-Sorge with twelve stops on a single keyboard and an attached pedal. In 1827 the organ was rebuilt by Giovanni Mentasti. He revoiced the pipes and added a Positif or Récit with a discant keyboard, and an independent pedal with two ranks.
  • The organ was maintained by Michel Deluz in 1964. In 1982, Alain Sals and Jean Deloye carried out a restoration. The situation of 1827 has been completely reconstructed.
