- The organ of the Sankt Stephanskirche in Beromünster (until 1934 called Münster) was built in 1842 by Franz Anton Kiene. It had thirteen stops. In 1888 the interior was replaced bya new organ of Friedrich Goll with nineteen stops in the church of Münster in the canton of Lucerne. It was the first organ in Switzerland with electro-pneumatic action. Already in 1897 Goll rebuilt the instrument to mechanical action.
- In 1944 a new organ with thirty stops was built by the company Cäcilia from Lucerne. The organ case of Kiene was replaced, but was not demolished. In 1987 this orgen was demolished. Orgelbau Graf built a new organ in the restored case of Kiene. Consultant was Monika Henking. The organ was dedicated on November 22, 1987, with a concert by Monika Henking.
