- The first organ of the Église Saint-Saturnin in Waimes (Weismes) was installed in 1868 by the Gebr. Müller from Reifferscheidt. This instrument had ten stops. It was inspected by Emile Kerkhof in 1925. The church was enlarged in 1926. According to the opuslist of the company Weimbs, a new organ was installed in 1936 by this firm (opus 6) with 22 stops on two manuals and pedal. This must have been a rebuilt and enlargement of the Müller organ.
- In 1974, the church was renovated. The old organ and the organ gallery were removed. Aloïs Thunus was commissioned to construct a new organ on the church floor. Due to the bankruptcy of Thunus, the work was taken over by André Thomas. He built a mechanical instrument with twenty stops on two manuals and pedal.
