The main organ of St. Salvator Cathedral in Bruges was converted and renovated in the years 2015-2022. In connection with this, an old English organ has been acquired, which has been restored by the companies Andriessen and Škrabl and built up in the cathedral. A free-standing movable console has been installed. The organ was inaugurated on April 7, 2011 with a concert by cathedral organist Ignace Michiels.
