- Gabriel Tomàs and Josep Bosch built a largely new organ in the years 1795-1797 in the old organ cases of Pablo Rosell from 1497 in the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca. On December 8, 1797, the organ was consecrated. A modernization of the organ was carried out in 1929 by the firm A. Amezua & Cie. Several stops were removed, the manual and pedal compass were increased, a swell was added and several stops were renewed or replaced.
- In 1993, the Blancafort company built a new four-manual organ with 54 stops in the old cases. Old pipework that is still usable has been restored and re-installed. The company Reil carried out restoration works in 2021.
