- The organ in the Sint Bavokerk in Wilrijk has an old facade, but the interior is from 1938. The original work was built after 1710. The maker is unknown. The prospect of the main work remained with original front pipes, that are no longer connected, and the prospect of the base, with wooden decorative pipes, in the balustrade. A little older pipe work can be found in the interior here and there.
- The current organ was built in 1938 by Gerard D'Hondt in its own organ case, placed behind the facade. The new organ was inaugurated on May 22, 1938, with Flor Peeters giving a concert. Around 1960 the organ was worked on, with a Sesquialter and a Cymbel placed on the Reciet, possibly by the company Pels-D'Hondt.
