| Year | Builder | Opus | Activity | 1737 | Simón Fontanes | new organ | 1978 | Esteves Pereira | maintenance/reparations | 1990 | António Simões | restoration |
- In the years 1733 to 1737, Simón Fontanes built two new organs on the choir of Braga Cathedral. The cases were manufactured by Marceliano de Araújo. The organ on the Gospel side was opened in December 1737. Two years later, the opposite instrument on the Epistle side was also completed.
- The beautiful organ on the Gospel side has remained unmodified for a long time. In 1978 Esteves Pereira worked on the organ, but his activities meant the loss of several historical parts. The organ was restored by António Simões in the years 1985 to 1990. The original situation has been completely reconstructed.
