1756 Johann Philipp Stumm  new organ
1899 Heinrich Bechstein  modify stoplist
1977 Oberlinger Orgelbau  restoration

The Stumm brothers built a new organ for the church of Bechtolsheim in 1752-1756. This organ was modified by Bechstein in 1899. Several romantic stops were placed on the Unterwerk. During a restoration by Oberlinger in 1977, the original disposition was reconstructed. Oberlinger made new keyboards, using the Stumm keyboards from Bärstadt as an example. The pedal size was increased from C-d° to C-d'. The additional pipework was newly made by Oberlinger in style with the work of Stumm.
