  • Karl Wilhelm built an organ in 1969 for the Église Saint-Ambroise in Loretteville, Québec. It was dedicated on November 30, 1969 with a concert by l'abbé Antoine Bouchard. The church was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the old building in 1967. This church housed an organ by Casavant, opus 442 from 1911, with 29 registers.
  • In 2018-2019, the organ was renovated by François Desautels. Jean-Willy Kunz gave the inauguration concert on November 23, 2019.
