Address:
Description nr.: 2076672.
Built by: Xavier Wetzel (1911)
Xavier Wetzel built an organ for the Église Saint-Martin Hives in 1911, which was completed in July. It was stated to have eight registers and an attached pedal, but there are only seven stops. In 1958, the Delmotte company drew up a plan for conversion and expansion into a two-manual organ. In 1966 Emile Verschueren made a proposal to change the disposition. These works have not been carried out. Jean Gomrée overhauled the organ in 1973. He replaced three stops: the Gambe 8' with a Flûte 4', the Salicional 8' with a Mixture and the Voix Céleste 8' with a Doublette 2'.
