  • In 1905 Martin and Joseph Rinckenbach built a new organ for the Protestant church in Muttersholtz. It is a two-manual pneumatic organ with twelve registers. Ernest Muhleisen rebuilt the organ in 1963. The action was electrified. He also shortened the Grand Orgue de Gambe to a Doublette and the Flauto Dolce to a Nasard. The composition of the Mixture has been altered. On the Récit the Rohrfloete 4' was changed to a Bourdon 8', and the Geigenprincipal replaced by a Gemshorn 4'. In 1975 Alfred Kern revised the instrument. He replaced the Flûte Harmonique 8' with a Flûte Octaviante 4'.
  • The organ was dismantled in 2020. There are plans to build a baroque style organ in the Rinckenbach organ case.
