- The organ in Notre-Dame de Quelven was built in 1709 by Henry-Auguste Brière. The instrument was restored in 1850 by Guilbon d'Alcantara.
- The organ fell into disrepair in the years 1950-2000. Much material, including historical pipework, had disappeared. In 2000-2001 Jean-François Muno carried out a reconstruction of the instrument. In fact, he built an entirely new organ in the old case, following the 1709 scheme.
