1983 Jean-Pierre Draps  restoration and enlargement

  • The organ in the Sint Annakerk in Roosbeek originally dates from the eighteenth century. It was probably built by Adrien Rochet, and the beautiful organ case with balustrade is the work of the carpenter Nicolas Bonnet from Nivelles. The interior was converted in 1857 (or shortly before) by Pieter-Adam Van Dinter, who worked from Tienen at that time. The Joris company restored the organ around 1930, whereby the disposition has been modified. He added a Salicional and a Céleste.
  • Under the advice of Gabriel Loncke, the organ was restored by Jean-Pierre Draps in the years 1981-1983. A reconstruction of the specification from before 1857 was chosen, but the organ was also expanded with a second manual, which was placed in the case as a positive beneath the main work. The organ case was placed back in the balustrade, as it had originally been.
