Built by: Orgelbau Kuhn AG (1947)
In 1947 the Kuhn company built a new three-manual organ with 39 stops for the Reformierte Kirche in Meilen. The organ history of the church began in 1861 with an organ from the Walcker company, donated by Johannes Wunderly. This organ had a neo-Gothic organ case and 23 stops. Johann Nepomuk Kuhn placed a new organ in this case in 1885, which was converted and renewed in 1913 by Carl Theodor Kuhn. When the new organ was built in 1947, the organ case from 1861 was demolished. Consultant was Viktor Schlatter. The new organ was dedicated on June 1, 1947.
