The organ in the church of Meusegem is sometimes attributed to Jan Nau, organ builder in Leuven. It would then have been built between 1750 and 1775. The organ was modified in the early nineteenth century, probably by Antoine Coppin. In 1973 a renovation was carried out by Aerts & Castrel. The Principal 4' has been moved up an octave by them, making it sound like a Principal 8'.
