1839 Dieudonné-Joseph Comblain  new organ
1997 André Thomas  restoration

  • The organ in the Église Saint-Sebastien in Olne was built in 1839 by Dieudonné-Joseph Comblain. But most of the pipework comes from the previous organ of the church, which was built around 1700. It was probably a work by Phillipe (II) Le Picard from Liège. Comblain's organ was modified in 1933, but has been largely preserved.
  • André Thomas restored the work in 1996/1997 and reconstructed the original situation. Consultants during the restoration were Jean-Pierre Felix and Joseph Woltèche. On April 5, 1997, the organ was put back into use with a concert by Anne Froidebise.
