Address: Place Saint-Hubert, 4950, Xhoffraix
Description nr.: 2067613.

The organ contains older material: from 18th century by Builder unknown
The organ of the Église Saint-Hubert in Xhoffraix was built in 1971 by André Thomas. Paul Nolens and Paul Schoonbroodt were consultants. Paul Schoonbroodt also played the dedicationary concert on May 2, 1971, in collaboration with three local organists - J. Simons, J. Bernard and A. Dostriche - and the choir of the parish. The prospect and parts of the pipework were taken from an older organ, that was installed in the previous church of Xhoffraix, and came from a church in Haaren in Germany, region Aachen. The prospect seems to be from the end of the 18th century. Nothing more is known about this instrument.
