1903 Gebroeders Van Bever  rebuild
1988 Ghislain Potvlieghe  reconstruction

  • The organ in the Sint Martinuskerk in Berlare was built in 1786 by Lambertus-Benoit Van Peteghem. In 1903, a new rgan was constructed by the company Gebr. Van Bever. It was a pneumatic organ, which was placed freely behind Van Peteghem's front. A lot of historical pipes had been taken over from the Van Petegem organ. The organ originally stood on the west side of the church. In the years 1910-1911 it was moved to a separate room above the sacristy, on the southeast side of the church.
  • In 1987-1988 Ghislain Potvlieghe carried out a reconstruction of Van Peteghem's work. The organ has no pedal board. The C sharp key on the lowest octave is missing on the manuals. The organ was returned to service with a concert by Antoon Fauconnier on November 24, 1988.
