The organ in the Sint Jobkerk in Bolderberg originally dates from around the middle of the eighteenth century. It is most likely a work by Jean-Baptiste le Picard from Liège. In 1891, Theodoor Ruef (Sint-Truiden) converted it and placed it in the church of Bolderberg. It is not known where it stood before. In 1994-1995 the organ was restored and reconstructed by Manufacture d'orgues Thomas in Ster-Francorchamps. They also made a new organ case. On June 25, 1995, the organ was dedicated with a concert by Luc Ponet.
