The organ in the church of Beauval was built by Félix van den Brande. The organ case has been taken over from the church's earlier organ, which was built by the brothers Van Bever. This organ was badly damaged when a bell fell down in 1925. The organ case was repaired by Van den Brande. In 1950, Charles Acker carried out a revision. The Violon 4' has been changed to a Doublette 2'. On the windchest of the Récit is an empty slide for a Voix Humaine.
