In 1912, the Mutin-Cavaillé-Coll firm built an organ for the Église Saint-Flaive in Ermont. It was replaced here in 1967 by a new organ by Joseph Beuchet. The Mutin organ was installed by Beuchet in 1972 in the chapel of the Abbaye de Kergonan in Plouharnel. It served here until 1994. In that year it was restored by Nicolas Toussaint and transferred to the Église Impériale Saint-Joseph in Pontivy.
