1860 Pereboom & Leijser  new organ
1987 Emile Verschueren  restoration

In 1860, the company Pereboom & Leijser built an organ for the Sint Pieterskerk in Sint-Pietersvoeren in the Belgian Voer region. The organ could not be played since about 1970 due to the poor condition of the instrument. It was not until 1986 that a restoration was started by the company Verschueren from Tongeren. During this restoration, the Mixture was recontructed, of which one choir was missing. A new Flute Travers 8' was also installed, because this rank had disappeared. The organ has been completely cleaned and repaired and is now back in its original state. It was re-dedicated on June 7, 1987 with a concert by Matthieu Alberigs.
