  • In 1729, Jacobus Verbuecken built a new organ in the St. Peter and Paul Church in Pulle. It is placed on an oxal from 1724. In 1795 Nicolaas van Hirtum overhauled the organ. The organ was modified in 1849 by Theodoor Smet. He increased the compass of the keyboard and changed the disposition. The Sexquialter, Cimbel and the Octave 2' were replaced by a Field Flute, Viola da Gamba and Montre, and the composition of the Mixture was altered. The old bellows were replaced by a magazine bellows by Stevens in 1894.
  • Under the supervision of Antoon Fauconnier, Jean-Pierre Draps restored the organ in 1989/1990. Consultant was Jef Braekmans. The original specification has been reconstructed. However, Draps made a new magazine bellows, not according to Verbuecken's method.
