  • The organ of the Église Saint-Thomas in Privas was originally constructed for the Temple de la rue Grignan in Marseille in 1843 by the company Daublaine-Callinet. The organ has been modified in 1873 by François Mader. In 1923 Ignace Pleyel overhauled the instrument. The current specification dates from 1958, when Paul Adam rebuilt the organ and enlarged it from 11 to 21 stops.
  • In 1983, the organ was sold, and it was installed in Privas by Jean-Louis Laval and Gilbert Thivolle. The same builders overhauled the organ in 1993. The Plein-Jeu was expanded with two ranks by them.
  • Maintenance works have been carried out in 2015 by Thierry Lemercier.
