ca. 1850 Leonard Lovaert  new organ
ca. 1914 Gebroeders Reygaert  rebuild

The organ in the church of Moerbeke is unsigned. It is attributed to Leonard Lovaert and was probably built around 1850. Just before the First World War, the Reygaert Brothers carried out a renovation. They moved the keyboard from the back to the side. The original registration plates have therefore been preserved. The Trumpet has been replaced by a Salicional by Reygaert.
