- The organ of the Sint Pieterskerk in Turnhout is an old instrument, built by Jean le Royer in 1662. But the interior was largely renewed in 1937 by the Stevens te Duffel company. The positive had been empty since that intervention. The Stevens organ was dedicated on May 30, 1937. The inauguration concert was given by Lode Van Dessel, Auguste Verrees and Flor Peeters.
- In 1997 a reconstruction and new construction was completed by Joris Potvlieghe, building an instrument that correspondents in style with the historic organ cases. The instrument is built in the classical Flemish style, based on the presumed disposition of Le Royer. On October 5, 1997 the organ was put back into use with a concert by Kristiaan van Ingelgem.
