1832 Joseph Callinet  new organ
1924 Jules Besserer  rebuild
1980 Alfred Kern & fils  restoration

Joseph Callinet built a new organ for the church of Soultzbach-les-Bains in 1832. The front pipes were removed in 1917. In 1924 Jules Besserer replaced these with new pipes made of zinc. He also replaced the Doublette with a Voix Céleste. The composition of the Fourniture was altered. In 1980 the Kern company carried out a restoration. New pewter front pipes have been installed and the Doublette has been reconstructed. The Salicional is probably not Callinet's, but it has been maintained. On June 15, 1980, the organ was put back into service with a concert by Gérard Wisson.
