  • The organ in the Stadtkirche in Lenzburg was built by the company Kuhn in 1973, in an organ case of Johann Conrad Speisegger from 1762. that was rebuilt in 1850 by Friedrich Haas. The company Friedrich Goll rebuilt the organ again with pneumatic action and 52 stops. The positiv stayed emtpy. This organ was replaced by the new Kuhn organ, having 44 stops. The instrument was inaugurated on September 9, 1973.
  • Kuhn carried out a restoration in 1990-1991, when the stop list was modified. The Quinte 1 1/3' of the Hauptwerk was modified into a Terz, and on the Schwellwerk the Harfprincipal 2' was replaced by a Vox Coelestis and the Mixture was renewed. A new Setzer-combination system was installed by Kuhn in 2008. In 2017 the organ was enlarged by Kuhn with two stops.
