- The organ in the Temple de la Fusterie on the Place du Bourg-de-Four in Geneva was originally built in 1835 by Thomas Sylvester Walpen. It was a two-manual organ with seventeen stops. In 1896 a new organ was placed in the old case by Theodore Kuhn. This instrument was expanded in 1912 by the Tschanun company with a third manual.
- In the historic organ case of Walpen, Pascal Quoirin built a new organ in 1977-1979 with 33 registers on three manuals and pedal. A positive was added, designed in the same style as the old greenhouse.
