- In 1861, in the Sint Odulfus church in Borgloon, Arnold Clerinx built a new organ behind the old prospect of 1652, possibly created by Gisbertus Hechtermans. The instrument was completely converted in 1934 by the company Firmin & Albert Joris. Hereby the action was pneumatized. On January 13, 1935, the organ was dedicated again. Herman Meulemans played the instrument during the official dedication mass and he played the inaugurational concert in the afternoon. The organ was located on the south side of the organ attic, in the tower, making it difficult to see from the church.
- The organ was restored in 2021-2023 by Verschueren Orgelbouw. The gallery in the tower has been removed from the church. The organ is placed on a smaller open gallery, which is placed in front of the tower in the nave of the church. The organ is therefore visible all around. On September 10, 2023, the organ was put back into use during a festive church service. In the afternoon there was an official inauguration concert with organist Tom Hoornaert and horn player Nico Monteyne.
