The organ in the church of Montlebon was built around 1790. The maker is unknown. It has a main organ with a positive case in the gallery, but the case of the positive is empty and the prospect pipes are fake. The pedal has no independent registers, but can be linked to both manuals. The current set-up dates from a conversion by the Merklin-Schütze company in 1860. In 1962 the organ was overhauled by Louis Georgel and in 1981 by Raymond Dominique.
