  • The organ of the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Membach was built by Arnold Clerinx somewhere in the second half of the nineteenth century. The construction is typical for Clerinx, with all the stops of the Positif speaking also in Grand Orgue. The only exception is the Flûte 4', with two drawers: one for Positif only, and one for Positif and Grand Orgue.
  • At one point in time the Gamba 8' has been replaced by a Quinte.
