  • In 1993, a fire damaged the organ of the Église Saint-Bonaventure in Narbonne, and it had to be dismantled. An electronic instrument was installed in 1994. But in 2019, a second hand organ from the United Kingdom could be acquired. This organ was built in 1951 by T.C. Wilcock for the Methodist Church, Newcastle Street in Tuxford and has eleven stops. The three stops of the second manual are transmissions of the first manual. The entire organ is located inside a swell box. It was overhauled in 1991 by David Watson.
  • In 2019 it was restored and installed in Narbonne by Stephen Adams.
