- The organ of the Dutch Protestant Church in Galle was almost certain made by an English organ-maker. The church building was completed in 1755. The organ was placed in 1760 and it is said that it came from Colombo. It is a small positive with three stops. However, it is in an unplayable state.
- There is also a fake organ prospect in the church on the gallery on the west side.
