- The organ case in the Mariä-Himmelfahrt-Kirche of Neunkirchen am Sand dates from the end of the 17th century. It was constructed by Johann Adam Brandenstein for a new organ with eleven stops. He did use parts of an organ case by Johann Conrad Vogel. The organ of Brandenstein was repaired around 1850 by Johann Michael Bittner. There is no further information about this instrument, that was replaced in 1905 by Johann Wolf.
- In 2001, Benedikt Friedrich built a new two-manual organ with 22 stops in the historic case.
