After some fourty years, the instrument was in need of restoration, but many pipes were not usuable anymore, for they suffered of metal fatigue. The decision was made to have a new organ built. This work was carried out by the Holtkamp Organ Company in 1990-1991. The new organ was dedicated in October 1991. It has three manuals and pedal, and two floating divisions. Positv and Choir are played from the same manual. The Antiphonal Organ is located at the rear of the church, the main part of the organ at the front side.
