- The choir organ in Solothurn Cathedral was built in 1772-1773 by Karl Joseph Maria Bossart. It is placed in the north transept. The organ case was designed by Paolo Antonio Pisoni. An almost identical case was placed in the south transept for symmetry, but an organ was never placed in it. The case was built by Peter van Buren, with wood carvings by Franz Schlapp.
- In 1903 the organ was rebuilt by Theodore Kuhn. The traction was made pneumatic. The organ was not used much, and fell into disrepair. In 1971-1972 a reconstruction was carried out by the company Metzler. Much of Bossart's original work had been preserved, but no pipework except for the front pipes. The choir organ in the abbey church of Muri was used as an example for the reconstruction. It was decided not to rebuild the short octave, but to install a complete keyboard with 49 keys.
- After a fire in 2011, both the Bossart organ and the empty organ case on the south side were cleaned by Metzler.
