  • Jean-Adam Dingler built a new organ in 1758 for the chapel of the Pères Prémontrés in Nancy. The organ was sold as national property during the French Revolution in 1792. It was purchased by Joseph Stezle, an organ builder, who lived in Nancy, and it was rebuilt in 1803 in the Church of Saint Sebastien in Nancy. Joseph Cuvillier worked on the organ in 1765.
  • Jean Blési built a new organ with two independent manuals in 1882 to install it in the Église Saint-Martin of Moyen, with the using a great deal of the pipes of Jean-Adam Dingler and Joseph Stezle. The organ has no manual coupler, and only a pedal coupler (tirasse) to Grand Orgue. The second manual is the positive of Stezle from 1803.
