1986 André Thomas  new organ
2000 Thomas Manufacture d'Orgues  restoration

  • In 1984-1986 André Thomas built an organ for the monastery church in Wavreumont with a clear neo-baroque sound. Consultant was Étienne Demoulin. He also performed the inaugurational concert on October 19, 1986, together with Jean-Marie Demoulin.
  • The organ was overhauled in 2000 and re-voiced by Dominique Thomas, who thus sought to connect with the sound image of organs from Thuringia in the time of Bach, especially in the style of Trost. The temperament applied is after a design by Arnolt Schlick from 1511. The organ was then put back into use on December 17, 2000 with a concert by Jean Ferrard.
