The organ in Insming is a large instrument that occupies a special place within the French organ landscape. It was built in 1844 by the Rivinach brothers. They may have used material from the church's previous organ, but there is no evidence for this. The organ would have had around twenty registers when completed. In 1892-1893, Jean Blési expanded the organ to 39 stops. It received a new console behind the Positif de Dos. The organ was restored and converted by Hubert Elsen in 1967-1968. A new console was placed in the nave of the church with an electric connection. The number of stops was expanded to 52, making it the largest rural organ in the world.
