  • Johann Michael Bihler from Konstanz built a large organ with 24 stops for the Benediktiner Klosterkirche in Isny in 1745. The interior was replaced in 1903 by the Späth company with a pneumatic organ also with 24 stops. They expanded it in 1947 by a few new ranks. Walter Supper was consultant at this time.
  • Under the advice of Father Gregor Klaus and Reinhold Melber, Hans Karl built a new interior with mechanical slides chests in 1976. The organ has three manuals and 32 registers. The sound was not satisfactory, so a re-voicing was performed by Eddy Ottes in 1984. He also improved the mechanisms and changed the Cornett of the Hauptwerk into a Sesquialter.
