- The company Th. Khun from Männedorf built a new organ for the parish church of Kirchberg in 1923-1924. The old organ was demolished on May 12, 1924. In 1953 the organ was overhauled by Rudolf Ziegler. He electrified the pneumatic action and installed a new console. Three new reeds have been placed and the intonation has been completely revised.
- In 1967 it was decided to replace the organ with a completely new instrument. Gregor Klaus drew up a draft for the specification. The Kuhn organ was last played on September 14, 1970. Construction of the new organ, built by Rudolf Ziegler, started in 1973. The 1924 organ case was restored and repainted. The new instrument has 44 registers on three manuals and pedal.
