  • The organ in the Église Saint-Roch in Lessines was built at the beginning of the twentieth century. The maker is unknown. Remarkable feature is the manual compass, which is 64 keys and it can be moved to change the pitch. The compass of the windchest is 56 keys. The pedal is attached to the manual. The Sousbasse 16' is a pneumatic transmission of the Bourdon 16' of the manual.
  • The organ cwas acquired second hand from the chapel of the Couvent des Camilliens in Tournai. It was moved to the choir attic of Saint-Roch at the end of the 1960s. A few years later it was relocated to the church floor. The disposition has been changed during this last work. The stops Gambe 8', Voix Céleste 8' and Flageolet 2' were replaced by the new stops Doublette 2', Larigot 1 1/3' and Prestant 4'. The Soubasse was also installed this year.
