- Henri De Volder built an organ for the church of Villers-le-Peuplier in 1865. At an unknown time (before 1940) the organ was modified by the company Joris from Aarschot. They turned the organ case a quarter turn and installed a free-standing console with a larger pedal keyboard (with 27 instead of 18 keys). The Fourniture and the Voix Humaine were replaced by a Salicional and a Voix Céleste and the pedal has an independent Bourdon 16' on a pneumatic wind chest.
- In 1983 the organ was reconstructed by the company Verschueren from Tongeren. Luc De Vos was the consultant. The Bourdon 16' has remained as an independent stop on the pedal, but was placed on a new mechanical chest. Examples of De Volder organs from the same period were used to create the two registers that had disappeared: the Fourniture and the keyboard according to the organ in Braives (opus 123) and the Voix Humaine according to the organ in Vierset-Barse (opus 125 ).
