Built by: Johann Nepomuk Kuhn (1882)
In 1882 Johann Nepomuk Kuhn built an organ for the Deutsch Evangelische Kirche in Montreux. It was built with cone loading and mechanical traction. The disposition was changed in 1954 during a renovation by Kuhn. The Mixtur of the Hauptwerk was made higher (from 2 2/3' to 2' base). At the Schwellwerk the Clarinette has been replaced by a Plein Jeu, and the Voix Céleste by a Nazard. The Salicional 8' was shortened to a Principal 4', and the Traversflöte 4' was replaced by a Flöte 4'. These changes were maintained during a restoration by Kuhn in 1989. However, the swell box that was removed in 1954 was replaced.
