  • The organ of the Conservatoir de Musique in Roubaix was bought by the municipality in 1906. It is installed in the Salle Pierre Destombes. The instrument had three manuals and 27 stops. Eugène Gigout played the inauguration concert on October 10, 1906.
  • Charles Mutin installed some new pipes in 1919. It is likely that these were replacements for the prospect pipes, that were removed by German soldier during the war. The company Pleyel restored the organ in 1948, after which the organ was re-dedicated with a concert by Jean-Jacques Grünewald. The company Jaquot-Lavergne repaire the organ in 1961.
