  • The organ of the Saint Peter's Church in Orsmaal is a small instrument, built in 1710 by Jean-Baptiste Forceville for the Saint Peter's Church in Ukkel. It was transferred to Orsmaal by François-Bernard Loret in 1839. It was also modified by him. The organ was rebuilt by Arnold Clerinx at the end of the nineteenth century. There have been several revisions later on. Nothing was left of Forceville's pipework.
  • In 1997, the company Verschueren from Tongeren carried out a restoration. The original work has been reconstructed.
