- In 1987 Armin Hauser built a new organ for the Reformierte Kirche in Belp. Three registers were not placed, but were reserved upon completion. The organ was put into use on November 15, 1987. The organ case has been taken over from the old organ. This was made in 1822 by Johann Jakob Weber. Some pipes from Weber have also been preserved in the Rohrflöte 4' (Hauptwerk), Prinzipal 4' (Schwellwerk) and the Subbass 16' (Pedal).
- Weber's work was replaced in 1904 by a new pneumatic organ by Jakob Zimmermann with twenty registers. This instrument was dedicated on October 23, 1904. In 1920-1921 this instrument was converted and expanded by Goll, and in 1939 it was renovated by Metzler.
