  • The organ case of the organ in the Basilique Saint-Hubert dates from around 1685 and was probably made by Antoine Le Picard. The interior was renovated in 1933 by Jules Anneessens, who installed a three-manual pneumatic organ in the old case. This instrument was dedicated on August 13, 1933. The organ was played by the organist of the basilica, Jean Devaux, and by Joseph Hanoulle, organist of the cathedral in Ypres.
  • In 1974, the Gomrée company overhauled the organ, making some alterations. The Trompette Harmonique of the Récit has been replaced by a Cymbale 3 rangs.
